Is having an MLIS degree useful for Technical Writing

Hi everyone,

I have recently completed 1 out of 2 years of my master's in library and information sciences program and realized I really don't want to work in a library or archive. I have my B.A. in History which I love (and am currently working at a museum) but it seems like an unrealistic dream at this point.

I recently heard of technical writing and am curious if having a MLIS would be a good background for it. Would some certificates or workshops help? Or should I start a whole new master's program?

Is there something similar to technical writing that an MLIS would work better for?
