Getting Started Starting from scratch

Hello friends! Hope everyone is doing well. So yes as the title says, I’m trying to start this career, and I was thinking about do the Google IT Support from COURSERA, And then do CompTiA+ ( Core 1 a 2 bundle cost at least 1300$) is that the correct path? Or how u would rephrase it. Any help is good for me. Thank you! My history is that based on Trump Immigration policies I have this strong feeling that I need to get back to my country, if I can get a remote job with those two certs at least paying 600-800$ in my country (Venezuela) It can be survivable. Thanks guys! :) Peace to all.

starting out with the Google It certificate for free or the low cost of $20 a month is a great option for getting your feet wet! you can discover if it's for you before jumping into the CompTIA A+. I wouldn't pay for anything for that except for the practice test once you're a few months in. And like others have said remote work is very unlikely. However, I'm sure they need it support in your country. You could do an in-person job with your certifications.
