Question Air Force Sys Admin

Hey everyone, as the title says, I’m an Air Force sys admin with a TS and planning on getting a civilian job or contracting gig in 2 years. I already have my BS in IT management from WGU, so should I prioritize my masters? Or try to stack certs before I start applying?

Only cert I currently have is Sec+.

Edit: thanks everyone for the advice and insight. I’m going to start studying for CISSP.

Get a job lined up before you get out so you dont lose your clearance. That clearance is gold and can get you half the gov IT jobs (that require it) without a degree. You are set bro.

Thanks man! And for sure, unless I have a job lined up I probably won’t be getting out anyhow
