ICS/SCADA with/vs CCNP

I recently entered the IT field in help desk and have gotten my CCNA. I'm currently studying for my AWS cloud practitioner cert, and was going to go for Linux+ then the CCNP after that. However I've been doing some research into ICS/SCADA systems and the area deeply interests me. Do you think that's a viable career path in lieu of the CCNP, & if so what ICS/SCADA cert or course would you recommend ??

Do both.

SCADA is highly dependent on networking, right? Plus it'll always be in high demand

Engineering is the usual path into SCADA, but most firms require specialists and networking is certainly a needed specialty.
