Right now I'm torn between getting security + asap or dedicating my time to getting a CCNA r/s asap. I understand security + is better for security but from what I've read CCNA is much better for getting an IT, even entry level. I want experience also. Would security + get me a job or is that more of a complement Cert to CCNA and others ?
Get sec+, CCNA, eventually CISSP? Can I get some opinions of others who are successful in the field ?
Most important thing is get experience so I can transition into a information security position, potentially consultant someday with a lot of knowledge in different aspects of computer technology

This question comes up every week. It all depends on what you want to do in infosec.
Generally speaking
Sec+>CEH>CISSP is a safe bet
After that it all depends on what you want to do specifically. -

Well, if people want experience. Work on getting experience in different lower level positions. You might be able to get a position without a ton of experience but never know until you apply. Impossible to tell what managers in your area are looking for.
