I would suggest to first do some self-study for the A+. If you can, get
into an intern role, helpdesk 1st tier role, or something similar. This
will help you get some hands-on experience. If you don't have a degree, but
have the chance to go to college, you may want to do that.

Bob is right,
If you do not have a degree or diploma from any college or know no one in IT
field, it is almost impossible you can get in the field with those cert. Of
course, it also depends upon the IT pro. unemployment rate in your area.
Anyway, most of the bootcamps are for people with exp.
Also, you need to know why do you want to go into the IT field. The $ is not
as good as you think, and it always has long working hrs.
cheers,

I would say A+ and then Network+ would give you a solid grounding and
understanding of the basic principals you need for starting out in IT.
You could then move onto the MCDST which covers useful helpdesk / first
line support skills. After that you can substitue the MCDST for an
elective in the MCSA track if you wish which provides you with a good
route to start from.

Hope that helps.
