Every admin does something different depending on how their platform is used in practice
I never had to do anything with Sendmail before my current job. I've never had to do much with printing ever. But I know folks that are great Sys Admins that have no clue about Sendmail or any mailer program but may know all about printers and administering them on UNIX. Each job has different needs or uses different programs (Sendmail vs Qmail). You shouldn't limit yourself to 10. Or you may not get that next job.

The moral: Learn as much as possible and practice what you know.
