<snip> A better field to think about is Auto Mechanic. <snip> I like the cars example as well. You have specialists working in high end racing teams doing amazing things to get their teams car across the line first.
Some system administrators do similar feats squeezing the last bit of performance out of infrastructure to help their companies win (e.g. stock market trading). You have some mechanics who can work well on an entire car. Motor, transmission, brakes, etc. You have some system administrators who work well in lots of infrastructure areas, hardware, OS, apps, storage, network, etc. You have some mechanics who specialize, e.g. a transmission shop. You have some system administrators who also specialize. e.g. Windows or Linux Administrator. You have hobbyist mechanics who work on their own cars. You have hobbyist sys admins too. Wide range of skill levels in both fields. There is even a whole lot of technology in the automotive field.
