MochaMilku's journey

I lost my job in December and have been searching for a new IT position since then. Previously, I worked in IT help desk and gained some experience in various IT fields through an apprenticeship that started in 2020. I have a background in information and security access management, which relates to cyber security. However, I've heard that my resume might not even get a glance without a CompTIA Sec+ certification. I'm contemplating whether pursuing a career in cyber security is still a viable option if I study for the certification, or if I should consider another field like AI learning instead. Any advice would be appreciated!
