Need some advice
Starting at community college for networking infrastructure & cybersecurity associates of science degree in august, my friend is a 4 year grad compsci working at a Firewall pentesting company for the DoD and is being my mentor in all this.
He told me to get my security+ A+ and network+ certs by August and use those to apply at entry lvl tech jobs while I'm in college for it & use his company as a reference.
With that in mind, how hard is it to land a entry lvl tech job with just those 3 CompTIA certs and no field experience?
I'm worried it'll be a waste of time but I trust my friend.
Opinions and criticism wanted

It really depends on where you live, if you lived where I do, it wouldn't be too difficult to land an entry level tech job (assuming you mean help-desk here) and the compTIA certs will only help you.
On the same note, I wouldn't expect it to be super easy, I would just keep trusting your friend since he's made it. I'm on the same course (working on my net+) and its definitely a nice topic to talk about in interviews and the sec+ comes in handy if you ever work for the DoD.

You should research the jobs in your area and look at the requirements. A lot of them will want experience but, with Education + Certifications, you may be able to get past that for entry-level positions.
Good luck with your CompTIA certifications, I don't know about you but, I'll be glad once I'm done with all 3.

when I am skimming through resumes and I see one of those certs, I instantly think "fucking retard"
with those certs and no degree or experience, very little
