I’m in the process of switching my career from oil and gas into IT. I’m back in school at Delgado getting an associates in security. So I’m looking for an entry level job right now while in school.

Good stuff. I switched to IT from sales in 2017.
Network+ will definitely help land an entry level job.
But don’t spend too much time in CompTIA land. Get your CCNA or MCSA. Learn Linux, scripting, AWS/Azure, VMware.
Obviously you said Security but it’s hard to jump straight there without going into networking or System administration first. Those certifications and skills above will get you paid.
I’m sure it can be done, but is an exception not the rule.
