Your plans should include a position like the one you are applying for. Goals that are completely irrelevant to the company will only make the interviewer question your intentions.

Keep away from specific titles, but do describe a career that share similar traits as the job you are applying for.
In all honesty, this isn't a very good interview question because it strays away from the focus, which is the current job on hand. All employers know that most employees stay an average of 2-5 years. It's not like they expect you to stay in this one position forever, they just want to make sure that you aren't in a completely different field altogether!

I think it is very important to stay within a position for at least 3 years by educating yourself completely with the company and your job because your knowlege and knowhow represents your company based on this. I would like to commit to this company long term by working from base level and if the opportunity presents itself in the future to excel in a different position, than I am highly motivated to try to advance myself within the company.
