My bosses boss was the sys admin here. He's moved up over the years. He still keeps his hands in the sys admin stuff on occasion. You know what happens? He fucks things up in the process! Things have changed in the past 5 years that he isn't aware of and so shit breaks when he tries to help.
Do yourself a favor and do one job and do it well. Give up the keys and let someone else sink or swim. If you don't stand aside, you'll be a liability more than an asset.
This really depends on your coworkers and what type of work everyone does. If everyone is pretty savvy then you might be OK. No two people use their computer the same way at work though and you'd be surprised how many backwards things people will do as part of their daily work flow.
There aren't many warning pop up boxes to save users from themselves. Are you ready to deal with "I accidentally removed my toolbar" or something equally absurd? Or "Why is it i keep getting a crackling sound when i listen to a youtube video?" Little things that you take for granted that work well on a Windoze box can actually be a pain for average people even in an office environment. Adobe Flash is a pain in the balls randomly on Windoze!

Our accounting people have to have 7.17 installed so that JPMorgan/Chase will work for them. Another dept uses a site for a supplier of parts that only runs on Java 7.45 with the security slide bar thingy set to "Medium" (which is as low as you can go for some reason). Our Mac's (designer people) can't use a Kodak site because Apple forced out the latest version which is incompatible. Our SAN requires 7.17.
There's a special place in hell for Java and i can't wait to dance on it's charred corpse when it finally dies.

In the process of doing volunteer work, I regularly run across Cisco interns all the time. They are almost all young, unlikely to be well trained in resume writing, and have relatively little experience
This is different from Cisco guru's who also are young, unlikely to be well trained in resume writing, and have relatively little experience?
