I am trying to decide if the CCNA is worth it for me, after burning out on it several times?

It is honestly a bit embarrassing. I've been in IT for 5-6 years. The only cert I have is the Sec+

I was able to get that cert in a little over a month. However, I have tried to get through the CCNA material at least 3 times over the years and I finally just stopped. I decided to focus on other things. Right now I am picking up PowerShell and I am considering an Azure Cert.

However, I am back wondering if I need to get this CCNA.

I got my BS in IT in 2019. Spent about a year as a tier 1 tech then got promoted to tier 2, where I stayed for about 3 years before being let go along with half of my team. In part due to desperation to find work I landed a sole tech position at a high school. Basically I manage all things IT at a high school by myself and I found it was a bad fit for myself. I've been trying to leave without luck.

My resume reads like tier 1.5 even though I worked on a tier 2 team. I did not work with GPOs, Intune, Entra, etc. That is hurting me I think for trying to get back into the corporate world.

I am not considering direct networking roles honestly. However, with how the economy is, I am starting to wonder if I would really benefit from getting this cert(CCNA).

honestly, the only reason I am considering it, is because my local community college offers classes to help you get through the CCNA and it is very affordable. With my track record, I think I need it to complete something like the CCNA. I just end up with such a huge stack of flashcards that I give up. I have bad memory and it is just so overwhelming to try to remembering everything while I study. The CCNA feels harder then anything I did in college.

What do you all think? Maybe better to focus my energy elsewhere? Or give it this one final try with help from a class? I have two months before it would start so that does give me time to finish up the powershell book I have, maybe even get a AZ cert before it starts.

Even if I don't go into networking, I am interested in infrastructure including cloud and administration. I am concerned that if I don't get CCNA level networking I may struggle and I also need help moving my career forward.
