Celebrating the five year anniversary of you asking me that question!

Ten points if you can tell me who I just ripped off.

I've avoided the sort of jobs where you would be asked that in an interview. It's an annoying non-question which you'll never get a straight answer to. Of course by avoiding such jobs, I find myself where I am. Doh:(
Hopefully I'll be married to my fiance, living in a house with a small mortgage we could afford. Preferably with no neighbours nearby, and enough money to indulge myself in my interests. Kids? You never know.
Work wise? I don't care because I'll be happy enough at whatever I'm doing, because life's too short.

never had a job that would require the interviewer asking that question.

out of all the jobs i have had if i was asked that, the truthfull answer would have to be "not working here".

But in 5 years i suppose i would like to have some sort of a career going. Im currently traveling around australia. When i finish traveling ill probably do another year in college to refresh my memory on programming and all that cumputer jazz and of course to get another qualification.

But screw all that i just bought a lotto ticket. 22 Million it is. That would be just enough to get me through the next 5 years.:D

in 5 years ill either be dead or alive. id say.

WunderFull · 07-09-2006 09:22PM

Getting my life together, in a middle range job, doing the odd bit of travelling, possibly engaged or married, yeah.

One of the stickiest questions that can be given to you in an interview is the question,

"Where do you find yourself in 5 years?"

It has always been the most difficult one for me to answer. I'm half tempted half the time to retort, "to be a roustabout on an oil-rig", or "a squaddie in Norn Iron."

So boarders, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

What goals do you hope to achieve in such areas as relationships, career, finances, and travelling?

In 5 years the plan is that I'll have a phd, be somewhere abroad with it...
that's about it
don't care about relationships, finances etc as long as I'm not miserable

Decentralised to Cork! Owning my own renovate gate lodge or old farm house somewhere near Bandon.
Working a subsidiary job (in the evenings) as a conservation archaeologist (if i complete the MA in Arch.)
Happy after living in Canada for a year.

i don't want to put a dampner on things, but being self employed is not all it is cracked up to be.
the general public are a fickle bunch and will try anything to get out of paying you.
like the woman who put a marble on her bathroom sink and told us that we hadn't put the sink back in properly because the marble rolled and it shouldn't have rolled. she was told to **** off, but you can't do that all the time.

I see myself managing the family business that I am in at the moment. Travelling and/or building a new house for myself. Possibly settling down with a chick too...

Bedhead · 08-09-2006 10:08AM

Is it too obvious to say that I want to have won the lotto and be living it up? Yes - oh well then in reality I just want to be healthy, happy and for family and friends to be the same.

God that was a bit mushy. Should I point out that in general I am a hard ass but this sunny friday morning is making me all happy...

Two stray children and a smelly dog, you can have the collection now.

Receiving my LC results, doing well, but not reaching my full potential
Driving a car and having a full license, I hope to have my own, maybe not...
Making Money Programming Websites and fixing comps
having a state of the art computer workstation
travelling, maybe one holiday per year

As for non personal things:
Goverment in a mess
Global Warming
Such a High Population, no1 can breathe

Boards:
Still maintaining the same idiots it's got now
reaching 750,000 people chatting
the usual that we all expect

I'll probably still be sitting at my computer drinking Tuborg (if the 6-for-7 deal is still on)
