About

Where Do You See Yourself in Ten Years? is a common question asked in job interviews. Online, the question is paired with humorous images which serve as the answer to the question.

Origin

One of the earliest, humorous online references to the question appeared in a Cyanide and Happiness comic[1] posted December 22nd, 2009 featured a person answering the question in a job interview for "Smartasses Incorporated" (shown below).

In the following years, the phrase began appearing in advice animals such as Lazy College Senior and Overly Attached Girlfriend (shown below).

The phrase began appearing as a caption paired with humorous pictures in the summer of 2015. It was around this time a drawing of a man having wine with his cat paired with the caption began circulating online (shown below, left), as did an image of a woman walking with a stroller filled with dogs (shown below, right).
