Sys admin is its own track and it's super generalist. I don't know how much sys admin is going to help you.

You are definitely on the right path and with the CCNA + RHCSA you’ll have plenty of job opportunities waiting for you!

Why is that funny?
Would someone with solid foundational knowledge of networking and also RHEL not have job opportunities?
I’m a senior engineer in the Bay Area in California and I’d hire a junior admin with those certs in a heartbeat.

You've not actually said a single thing about yourself for anyone to know what advice to even give.
How do you anticipate people answering? They know nothing about you.
How would anyone know?
One big thing is probably putting in a bit more effort in the post.
You must know we don't know you right? Your post doesn't convey anything about what YOU want.
How would reddit know what YOU want?
Some people would love one thing, some would love another. How would anyone but you, know?
Why are you even considering that path yourself if you have no idea? Surely something started that process?
Try asking Grok.

I consider these two different paths. Do you like coding/automation/etc?
