When I got this question for the first time, I had just left highschool and waiting to get into college.
The interviewer said: ”Where do you see yourself in five years?”
I said: ”Well, at the last term of my college education I presume.”

*I don’t think that’s the answer you’re supposed to give…*

me too. once in high school we were asked to write an essay(?) which film character fits us the most (with arguments of course)

in a star wars movie (cannot recall which) you saw two guys in the background cleaning a window.

i've never seen such a compassionate facial expression when teacher handed me the essay back
