YuckTheFankees,

If you want to take a SAN course, GSEC or GCIH would be good to start out and get your foot in the SEC door.

I would really prefer to start with GPEN/GWAPT/ GAWN but when I look up jobs..GSEC comes up with the most jobs..but I feel like if I get the sec+, CEH, CPTE..then GSEC wouldnt do that much for me

GSEC, even though i havent taken it... yet, looks like it has some good stuff in it. I think it is a step up from the Sec+ and the main thing about SANs tests is you want to get a feel for them it is a good cert to start with in general.

On a side note the GPEN does cover python, but no too deep. OSCP is where you will need the py skills more.

I took and passed the GCIH.  It was an awesome course and loved the CTF event at the end.  Since I won the CTF contest, they gave me the GSEC course materials for free.  I had a look at these and yes, it has a ton of valuable info but I never wrote the exam.  Just my opinion but if you already have your Sec+, CEH and CPTE, I would think you're beyond GSEC.  I must admit that I've seen job ad's with GSEC in there too.  I'd hope if they see you have a more advanced cert then GSEC, that would be sufficient.
