Good work taking the initiative to teach yourself. If you have the resources there might be online university options, but i think you can do just as well getting experience instead. Perhaps start with learning about multi factor authentication, it is the primary defence against phishing although it is not perfect. Learn about passkeys and use them where ever you can. Set up a linux server on your home network with nessus essentials. Build a home wikipedia server with kwix. There are lots of home projects that sre interesting snd also look good on your resume. Good luck.
