Do you have any IT background ? Also is the cert a requirement for a job or something you want get for your self ? If not a requirement I would not get it and replace it with some better certification instead.
Only entry level jobs might require a compTIA . Even though I hate cisco , CCENT or CCNA would probably get you to better places. They do cover a lot of security stuff in the CCENT i believe, CCNA security is more geared towards security.

I recommend a Linux certification more than a compTIA. Linux is very widely used and most of the security architecture are built around a linux kernel.
