This is a common interview question and is asked to assess your ambition and whether you are the right person for a specific job.
The employer will be trying to find out if you a) plan on a long career with that one company or b) see yourself moving on to a completely different career in a couple of years time.
By asking this question also, an employer can work out if you are going to see this job as just a 'job' or as a 'career'. This way they can also presume the level of commitment you might give to the job.
It is always best to think of your answer in terms of the job you are applying for and what possible promotion opportunities there might be within that company/organisation.
Only you know what your carear is and what you want to do, we a Wikianswers can not answer this question for you.
