How do you answer 'Where do you see yourself in five years' if your plan has no relation to this job?
[Edit]

Answer

When an employer asks this question, they are really asking two separate questions:

1) Do you have goals/dreams/aspirations?

2) Are your goals/dreams/aspirations in line with this company?

With that in mind, you need to decide what about this job IS relevant to your 5-year plan and communicate it.
