5 and 10 year plan

I saw a similar question over in the IB forum, and was curious about how you should go about answering the "Where do you want to be in 5 years? 10 years?" type of questions if you're on a trading interview? Do you even get asked this in S&T interviews? And if so, what sort of answer should you give?

celebrating the 5 year anniversary of you asking me that question! - mitch hedberg no, but in the discussions I've had with friends doing S&T it hasn't come up, where as it has for me in IB
