Yep thats the area i'm working in, and i really enjoy it. I deal mainly with small businesses at the moment, but i've got a couple of larger 200+ user clients.
It's still a pretty broad area that you can specialize in something you like. There's a number of different roles of a Sys Admin, whether it be the role where you deal directly with the users right up to where you have no user interaction and work in a team of specialists designing systems.
The other thing to look at is that once you've got a solid foundation of being a sysadmin common security scenarios are like a second nature. You can then study further if need be to learn the rest.
