Will getting my Series 6/63, 65, and 26 increase my chances getting at an entry role (in general)??

So my parents are business owners but work in personal finance (insurance, investments, etc.). I'm in the process of applying to entry level analyst roles in finance (literally applying to everything entry level at this point), and want to know if it will be worth it to get my SIE, Series 6, 63, 65, and 26. I want to get Series 7 and 66, however, they don't sponsor it. I don't have that much of a finance background, but genuinely want to know if it's worth it to get all these license and if it will help me get through the first round of interviews. They don't work at a BB or MM firm since they are self employed and run their own business, but at the same time, they're telling me to get these licenses because it shows employers that I'm trying. At the same time, I'm afraid of wasting multiple months focusing on these exams when I could be studying to learn how to do valuations, etc.

Please let me know. Thanks!
