You want the fastest way in? IT Helpdesk for 1.5yr, find the root cause of every problem you run into, find a project, and get familiar (not proficient) in powershell and/or python. After about a year, take Sec+ and set up a virtual lab for security experimentation. Enrichment is everything, then experience, then certifications, and then degrees.
It is actually required for most relevant certifications to have several years of experience under your belt before you get the certifications. Most companies that are worth working for will also sponsor and underwrite certification preparation and taking. It's a better idea to figure out which area of cybersecurity you are interested in. IS it access control? Is it DLP? Is it Data Security/Protection? Is it SIEM? Is it things that tend towards audits and/or response? That seems more important; get broadness an depth...don't worry about the listings with certs listed...I would say it would be idiotic for a recruiter to emphasize that for an entry position.
Meh, Sec+ is pretty straightforward even when starting fresh. Networking fundamentals are crucial to success, though.
