How to know what needs to be known

I have a problem choosing what particular course to take online, or what experiment to do in relation to InfoSec because I studied Computing and Security and I just finished studying Information Systems security (I am not satisfied though because universities choose what to teach you)..

I decided to choose what I wish to learn but then the more vulnerabilities and threats I assess, the more I want to know indepth about that area of infosec, I can't!!

Thank you Information Security you are so broad!!!

How to decide what path to take
I asked me, "what excites you about Info Sec"? Managing vulnerabilities, watching threats, helping to block out threats and fix problems. That brought me to ---> Pen testing. (I have only a year of experience in vulnerability management and threat analysis).

Okay, great! there's so much to know in Pen testing where do I begin? ARM/x86, scripting in python, learning to use more tools like nmap?

I need help!!!!

Currently I am taking a course in py, (I know, this is my second attempt at scripting, first it was js and I got bored but python has got me captured).
I am also taking a course in Ethical hacking along side and I am interested in Comptia A+ to know more about networking and dodgy request coming through. Argh!!! too much at one time but I need to choose between eth hacking and comptia, please help if you are a pro in this or have overcome this decision making process.
Thank you kindly!
