When I worked at a firm, there was a night secretary (an excellent one) who was a lawyer by training (and had been on law review at her local law school). She quit the law racket to become a photographer, which wasn't exactly a financial boon for her, so to pay the bills she decided to do temporary work. She told the agency she could be a temporary lawyer, a temporary paralegal, or a temporary secretary; she was only interested in making money. She said she would take whatever job paid the most.
The agency told her that she would make far more money as a temporary secretary.

I have occasionally pretended to be my own secretary ("No, I'm sorry, she isn't in. May I take a message?"), but I have never pretended to be a paralegal.
