r/HowToHack

I reallly apologize i know this is probably redundant at this point, but im genuinely lost. I am in school for an Associates degree for cybersecurity- network security. Even though i have all my regular gen Ed’s, they had me do some of them over and just classes in between to get more money i guess idk. But i am genuinely lost. I’ve read the CEH is basically useless, but all I’ve googled said it was good. Idk what i should be doing. I just know i would love to be in the hacking community. My degree plan includes net+, Linux, ccna switching routing and wireless essentials, security operations center fundamentals, ethical hacking. I also need to have either core computing competency or intro to info systems, sec+ or security essentials, fundamentals of voice and data cabling or enterprise networks security and automation, and then electives are cloud computing fundamentals and intro to applied network forensics or ICS & SCADA communication essentials and Security Essentials and lastly industrial materials handling automation. I am so confused on how to maneuver after and if this degree will even do anything for me. I can never get an answer, nobody ever knows. Not even the people at my school. Please can somebody just help me
