So I currently acquired my Network+ and Security+ certifications and was wondering if I should submit a packet to reclass to 17C or should I work on building my resume and finding work as a contractor or in the civilian sector? A little background, I will be getting out with a BA in Cyber Security Management with a minor in computer programming, certs and Secret clearance as well, would that suffice?

I would drop a packet. Sec and Net are only beginner certs. You're guaranteed to achieve a lot more concrete exp, certs, and a network of connections which translates to a lot more money if you do a contract of 17C and get out. You'll also get a top sec clearance which is worth a lot.
