@Asmodea first i'd recommend deciding what cyber means to you. If you want to hack into stuff and be a pen tester/red team, then work up to an OSCP.
If you want to write code professionally, consider a traditional CompSci degree.
If you want to architect systems, learn some systems engineering (maybe get ASEP/CSEP from INCOSE) and then if you want to manage, get a CISSP.
All this assuming you have a solid "hacker" background. Get hands on and learn low level stuff! Certs aren't everything :)

@Asmodea ok, sounds like cyber to you means you want to break in to stuff. Cool :)

I don't have much respect for CEH or it's governing body but some companies like it.
.
Security+ is an ok cert I guess that might help you give advice and it's _really_ beginner level.
.

Neither of these really prepare you for the OSCP or teach you how to hack, but they might be a way to get into an entry level job.
