Hey, Grant,
I would like to ask you for some advice. So here I am studying CCENT to start off in IT. My goal is cyber security. Do you think after CCNA and before CCNA Security, I should learn python and Linux? and that before CCNA Security, I need to look at getting Security + cert first to branch out into security? Thank you.
