I'm still in high school and I'd consider myself to be of a beginner-intermediate skill level when it comes to security. I've learned about 6 programming languages (Python, C, C++, C#, LUA, JavaScript) and I'm still decent in 4 of them. I'm at the point where I can learn any language in a week or two. I also do CTFs on HTB and VulnHub. I'm going to do security whether I join the Army or not, I just want to find the most optimal path to become skilled. I really don't care about money, I just don't want to be in debt. Like already mentioned I want to grow and become as skilled as possible.

What would be the best path to start my career? Any advice/info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is tuition free, for assocs and Bach in comp sci (CS), only admin and exam costs, however, while I've read and seem good things, including Vatican endorsement, and they pro rate admin and exam fees by per capita income in a given country, they're not regionally accredited yet, they are accredited by DEAC, which is a Federally recognized body, I just don't know if industry accepts ten, let alone the services or the VA, I !erepy thought you'd find knowing about them useful....
