My two cents... If you have the fundamentals stack (a+, net+, sec +) and at least a year in any field, you can at least get your foot in the door. As you get more experience, add in a role based cert from MSFT then go ham in the niche you choose.
More important than any degree or cert are the actual skills you pick up and display. I'm into Systems Administration right now and I heard more questions about powershell scripting for automation, Azure AD for IAM, intune, DNS, VMware, etc during the interview process than my education or cert stack.
The game is flooded with paper techs so what you can actually do is a way to stand out. Set up a sandbox, play around & master a few enterprise level technologies while fine tuning your soft skills (customer service, time management skills especially} and you should be gtg.
