Pros and cons of an NP education when the goal is to teach.

This is a question I've been mulling over for some time. I do not want to become a provider; I want to eventually teach. There are significant curriculum differences between a concentration in nursing education and in the NP curricula, regardless of specialization.

My question is pretty straightforward. If I know my own professional goals, is there any reason to take the NP track for a master's? I don't see a reason, but I would appreciate some input from all of you fine folks. Thanks in advance for your time.

I accidentally put this in the wrong forum. I thought I was in the general forum. Can someone please move it? Thank you!
