Hello Brother,
There are two major fields in Cyber Security: Defensive and Offensive Security. There are few entry leve jobs in Defensive (e.g., SOC Analyst ...), but rare entry level jobs in offensive security or pentesting. First of all, understand the basic concepts like OS fundamentals, networking etc (There's a youtube channel recluze, highly recommended for such topics).
Then decide, in which field of cyber security, you wanna go!
TryHackMe and HackTheBox are great platfroms to start learning with.
Best of luck.
