I agree, but for a different reason. I prefer to work on things that no one else is working on. Either because they don't know about it, they don't think it can be done, or they don't know how to do it. Every time I catch myself doing sys admin work, I think, "There's probably a million other people who could do this, why am I?" OTOH, analyzing a business problem, then designing, developing, and implementing a software solution that no one else ever has, now that's the kind of stuff this geek must do before he dies.
