20. Seriously, in my opinion? That's no more pathetic than anyone else who is inspired by their role models to be something. I mean, my dream is to write because of some of my favorite authors, and because I've discovered that I really love it, and I really look up to them and want to be like them someday. I don't think your role models are any less valid just 'cause they aren't RL role models. If it's what you want, go for it! ♥

My only word of caution, though, is this: my dad was a paralegal for most of his career. He's a litigation analyst now, but paralegals are NOT in high demand atm, and there isn't a lot of projected growth in the job market. It's definitely not one of the most needed jobs at this point, companies aren't hiring too much and my dad went through hell getting his current job after his last company went under. So just be careful, mm'kay? ;D
