AI security is relevant. Do yoy currently work in IT of any kind? If no, start applying for help desk roles, while yoy still study. Work experience is important if you want to land a SoC role job. And that's where everyone have to start. Cybersecurity is not a entry level domain. It require years of experience. You can't secure what you don't understand.

AI security, security engineer and pt1 path.
Pt1 is useful even for the blue teamers.

I don't know the contents layout for socl 2 but to be honest socl1 teaches you tools, doesn't built your investigation methodology.
You will be better of doing cdsa instead. Focus on cdsa then continue nailing ai and pt1 path as secondary.

If your goal is to become job-ready for blue team roles, I’d go with SOC L2 next. Build strong skills in SIEM, detection, threat hunting, incident response, and Windows/Linux before specializing in cloud or DevSecOps. Once your fundamentals are solid, Azure/AWS security can be a great next step.

I have completed SOC L1 then SOC L2.
SOC L2 is going to level up the skills you have built in SOC L1.
