In answer to "where do you see yourself in 5 years" question, I once told a potential employer that I would be CEO of his company.

I didn't get an offer :-)

I know somebody who did the same, and he ended up being the boss of a plant. Not the CEO, but still a lot of responsibility. And not from the start, he worked on all factory machines first and slowly he was given more responsibilities. It all depends on what they are looking for. This company looked for a local to replace the expats. It was a match.
