Just passed Security+ Exam

just came out of my exam and passed! i was a nervous wreck going in (first time)

No experience in this field. do not have A+ or Network+

Took an online course to get a good foundation of the material, which highlighted the important pieces in every chapter.
watched Professor Messers videos, took many of practice exams from online course and Darrill Gibsons Practice Test Questions. definitely was a huge to help for multiple choice to understand why the correct answer is correct and why the other answers are wrong.

had about 6 simulation questions. only one i was not completely sure about.

I am definitely interested in going into Information Assurance or Cyber Security field.

I am starting off as a system admin for a secure area.

any advice for what my next steps should be? I was thinking after some hands on experience to pursue a CISSP.

since you have no experience at the moment. you can go for SSCP/CEH. pretty good stepping stone for CISSP or CASP. good luck.
