first off....don't listen to the haters and let ur dreams be crushed (assuming ur not just trying to get em to go away)
Waaaaaaay back in 2006 when I first started this game I was almost exactly in your shoes :) I lived back in the days when the MC reigned supreme and the mothership was an unstoppable weapon that could single handedly destroy entire alliances. (D2 anyone?)
As a noob, I always wanted a mothership. I got into some eft whoring when that came out, started to like the wyvern more and more. By that point I had a second account, and decided to train that char up for caldari capitals. I think Im started to ramble and reminisce.....but here's my advice :P
-Dont let anyone crush ur dreams.
-If you're serious, get a second account, even if you dont end up getting an SC, you wont ever regret it :)
-Train second account for capitals, see how much you like them, how comfortable you are with having to rely on others to move around (protip - capitals cant use gates, and supercaps, ms, titan, cant dock anywhere)
-If by that time you really like your capitals, start maxing the skills for em on that char, and start collecting isk. My alt basically began to live in his chimera, and I was, and am, 100% comfortable living out of a POS.
-With that realization I understood that, yes, I was fully comfortable with my alt being "stuck" in a supercarrier. Somewhat recently I fulfilled my dream, and I currently own a wyvern :)
In conclusion, dont let ppl crush ur dreams or w/e, just be fully informed before you make any major decisions.
The reason why most of these ppl are saying 5 years or w/e, is because simply having the skills for an SC is a small fraction of the overall picture. You need to be 150% experienced with capitals and carriers in general, and you need to have the number of accounts and cynoalts to move yourself around in place, and/or be in a very good position in a large alliance. I think that in general we all mean well, but some of us say it in nicer ways than others. (And I dont think half of the ppl here giving u advice personally have an SC :P)
Enjoy ur dreams, and play eve like you want to, just make sure you have the experience and knowledge to do your things without getting dissapointed in them. :)
