Probably an internship or two to start, then a desktop support/helpdesk role like scaredoftests mentioned.
With the CCNA though if you're lucky and someone likes you, a sweet network or datacenter technician job.WGU BS - IT Security ... Enrollment Date 10/15 ... Progress 45/124 CU {36%} -

Help Desk/NOC/Desktop Support roles would be the most likely to start off your career. I would also recommend doing some volunteer work at churches, libraries, or schools to build your experience and resume.*Associate's of Applied Sciences degree in Information Technology-Network Systems Administration

A+/N+/S+ alone would put you in a lot of helpdesk jobs. Having 2 of those 3 would be enough in a decent job market for an entry-level gig.
Then add others while you're working and gaining experience.
Don't wait until you have a bunch of certs to start working in IT. Work history trumps certs and education both, plus you get paid while building it. -

I got a contract job with just an Associates. I think it helped that I put protonic.com on resume as I'd been helping them for about a year here and there. Definitely get those certs, but you may be able to squeeze in with volunteer experience.
