Welcome Antoinette,
Certifications can be useful if you don't have working experience.
Honestly, the best kept secret is to build experience by working on
open-source projects. For example, just doing some of the routine
housekeeping described at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted
and then
https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/#fedora-infrastructure
will give you the kind of experience that brings very high salaries.
It will also give you the kind of contacts that can get you in touch with
recruiters for those jobs.
For example, I know a lot of folks looking to hire analysts for Security
operations centers (SOC) and you can feel free to contact me directly if
you want more information.
All the best,
Blaise at gmail

acaldwell.
I have been working with a company as a tech support for almost 1 and a
half. I was introduced to Fedora back in 2014, and I've been doing (on and
off) web development since 2015. I
become pretty interested in the security world, and was hoping for my foot
in the door into a cyber security analyst type position. I am working
toward a couple of certificates, such as security plus (which I have heard
is useless in some places), and the SANS certifications as well.
I posted earlier in the Spins mailing lists, so I was given useful links
to start with. Thank you for taking the time to read my inquires and my
introduction.
