If you are interested in pentesting and all people will recommend you go for OSCP, well, OSCP is a great cert, but if you are a beginner, it might scare you, then you can check the CompTIA security+ stuff and network+ and CCNA for networking knowledge and then you can go for it.

Don't forget to learn Linux

Linux is a beautiful and wonderful OS to learn. You just need to be versed in Linux. Different operating systems. Other than windows mac, you will have a different file system representation. Different commands to enter for administrative work, Learning the Linux commands allow you to do mundane tasks and possibly automate these tasks with scripts so that you do not have to repeat over; you can feel smart. Of course, it will help you in your career a lot.

try hack me,

Many people are using try to hack me. You will find many rooms for beginners you can solve challenges. Many CTF's(capture the flag) are available out there on the internet, so go out there on the internet and do capture the flag's and challenges, hack the box, and try hack me rooms so that your way of approach solving a problem gets improved day by day.

Use social media,

Social media is another way to learn and acquire knowledge. Use social media and ask your doubts, share your suggestions, and help others in this way; you can help others and yourself. Please be aware that you will find scammers, cyber-terrorist groups that don't share anything personal on your social media. 

Share what you know,

The best way you can learn is to teach what you've learned. If none is listening to you, create a blog or YouTube channel, share your experiences and what you've learned with others; if you are going in the wrong way, people who see your posts and videos suggest you try some other methods, don't forget you should always be open for suggestions, I personally find writing blogs is very helpful, and I have terrific advantage from blogging.
