I've been interested in getting into cybersecurity. so far I've completed an IT support and Data analytics professional certificate programs along with about 10 other classes on Coursera. I'm currently about halfway through the cybersecurity certificate program. I plan to complete an intermediate program that focuses on networking as well. a goal I have this year is to get my Security+ cert. additionally, I think I can get a couple certifications from Microsoft Learn as they are less expensive. I've been dabbling with the lessons on Hack the Box and Try Hack Me too. I'm interested in getting experience with AWS, Azure, and GCP. I'm not sure if that would be too much though. I'm very limited financially and live in a rural area, so my options are limited.

my question is: what could I do different to aquire the skills & experience needed for employment?

no. I'm a carpenter. I worked from home briefly in IT support but found better wages in the trades.
