That's mostly true.  There are a whole lot of things that I can't fix.
Probably more than what I can fix.  But, it's like that for everyone.
The more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

Not everyone enjoys solving problems. I've figured out that I'm very

(design, programming) sort of person. I love fixing things and getting
them back to proper working order again.
