Im new I may have done something wrong. Trying to figure how this forum works.

People post questions or topics , then other individuals usually respond with a relevant answer or their own person thoughts on the subject being discussed . ?

Congratulations on passing Security+. To determine what you should do next depends on what your goals are. With Security+ I assume you are going the info sec route so then I do not see why you would do A+. You have not shared enough information for any guidance to be provided.

E Double U...I appreciate your insight. You are right, I need to come up with a career path or two. I am interested in CyberSecurity. I have been out of the IT industry for a while, and I am trying to gain footing again.

Background is BS Computer Information Systems, 10+ years IT various programming positions, some management. Now I am trying to broaden my knowledge base...feel like I have gaps.

Unless you need help to get a helpdesk job, then A+ is not useful at all. With Comptia, you could do CYSA+ or Pentest+ depending if you prefer the defensive or offensive side.
