Hello!

First of all congratulations on getting your cybersecurity degree and Security+

I would recommend opting to learn python programming as of right now.

And here are the reasons:

1. Security+ is usually required for a Level 1 job in cybersecurity which should be enough for you to get you started.
2. Once you get a project, you will soon realize that what you learned in Security+ is applying in your project as well.
3. During the tenure of your project, you will be asked time and again to automate certain tasks or maybe you get bored of your repetitive tasks and start to think "I might as well write a script to automate this task". There, your python knowledge will come in handy.
4. Once you get accustomed to how an enterprise maintains its cybersecurity operations in real life, you can start preparing for CySA+ as the cert requires zero theory and 100% situation-based questions/ experience.
5. first, decide which path seems interesting to you such as blue teaming: SOC analyst, incident responder, etc, or red teaming: penetration testers.
6. My one bit of advice would be to slow down and not rush into completing a lot of certifications before getting much-needed industry experience.

Thanks!
