There are two very important factors.
1) Do you have the time to-do it?
2) Do you have the motivation to-do it?
The reality here is it does not matter the field with enough time and effort you can close the gap over any disadvantage caused by missing specialised knowledge at the start, Heck having the specialised knowledge is useless to get the task done if you don't have the 2 important factors as well.
If you want something done and you don't have the time or the motivation to-do it there is always the option to find someone to be motivated by pay to-do it. Of course if you don't have the time or motivation or money you are kind of screwed.
The reality is those running projects need to be always asking if you can do it one way or another this is how they get more developers. Yes 99.9 percent of people may be saying no to them but that 0.1 percent who says I will try and is successful normally comes the next generation of developers for the project.
