Get Hardware
I agree with buying hardware.That will not only help you get your certifications but also your experience.It's like already working on a company, put up a scenario where you manage a network with a router and one or two switches, and start configuring like you were given a job.

I started first with IT Essentials course, at that time I was very young and after a year or so I started working on a Computer Service, and from there jumped directly to an ISP environment, where not for much time I ended on their NOC.After that got my CCNA cert. Note, i didnt have any certifications when I first joined on the ISP environment, but when you are near a big building, start planting beautiful flowers , the owners of the big building will be impressed by your work on your specific field, they will open the doors for you and from there you can take the elevator or the stairs to go upper happy
