Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

Have you ever been asked that question? Whether it be at school or a job interview that is the one question that I really hate. Of course I hate all questions about myself but that one is just so annoying. I don't know what it is about the question, perhaps its because I feel that the person who asks the question expects me to give some deep meaningful answer and describe some idealistic perfect life that I will be no doubt living then.

The truth is I expect to see myself exactly where I am now.

People may see that as me being lazy or having no goals in life, but really its just I don't care. No I don't mean I have no feelings, of course I do...I do actually care. What I mean is that I refuse to do what society expects of me.

Example I was expected to go to school, then college, get a job, get married, raise some kids, retire and then die.

I went to school..I did college...then thought sod it. Do I really want to spend the best part of my adult life doing thigs for other people, following other peoples rules and regulations (work related not law of course), or would I rather live a life that I could look back when I am older and say at least I enjoyed myself. Cuz lets face it you only have this one life so why waste it doing what society wants.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea I don't mean be an anarchist and break the law doing god knows what, just ask yourself are you doing the job you are doing or studying the subject you are studying because you like it, or because it is expected of you. If it is the first then congratulations on achieving al lest one of your life's goals. If, however it is the latter. Why not just say enough is enough and I'm bored then quit?!
