Does the sector you pick really matter?

There's numerous sectors to pick when it comes the advisory and investing perspective, but do you think there's any industry specifically that once you can have a good understanding of it, you can generally apply your knowledge to most other sectors and do well. For example, if I had experience in tech advisory and investing, do you think the knowledge would translate well into acquiring businesses within the manufacturing and healthcare and etc. spaces?
