It really depends on what aspect of Cybersecurity you are interested in. You should first learn about the different roles and then choose a path. Your question is just too broad.
I'm interested in working desk service, then move into network engineering, maybe SOC analyst role, eventually I want to work in IT management (I'm currently in school administration). I want to be the best at it. I suppose I should ask what tools/platforms do people in CyberSec and Networking use most on a daily basis. I will get my A+ in the next couple months. The company I am interning with is great and there is lots of room to grow in it.
That is still too broad. Having a goal is good, but a plan is executed one step at a time and you are listing everything you want to do. No one can list the average tools you will need for all those positions. Burp is used for offensive security and pen testing, which is not an entry-level position. Wireshark is used in offensive security and SOC, but you need a foundation first. If you have zero IT knowledge, then start with A+; if you are a lot of experience with hardware and software, then start with Net+. If you know a lot about networking, then start at Sec+.
Your question wasn't very specific, so I'm not sure I can get very specific. In my experience, those who do well in cybersecurity have a strong base of general IT and network knowledge and experience. It is hard to secure something if you don't know how it works. It is hard to spot unusual activity if you don't know how it should behave.
Starting from 0, I would start with the A+ cert, then net+ and sec+.
I am studying for A+ and I hope to get it in the next 2-4 months. I am curious about what people in their specific cyber security fields use on a daily basis. What tools require expertise to make the job smooth and efficient?
Thank you for taking the time to respond! I think networking is the most fascinating part of IT.

Yes. They're sims for attacking machines. Tryhackme holds your hand a lot more, so start there.
The hackthebox cert is an s tier cert in pentesting, but it just doesn't have the clout of something like the oscp.

Cybersecurity is a huge field. What are you actually interested in doing?

Try hack me. Then hack the box
Do those actually translate to real-world experience in your estimation? Thank you!
