This question seems absolutely ludicrous but it gets asked. What are some peoples approach to the question AND/OR thinking about what they will be doing in 10 years.
Where will you be in 10 years?

These people are going to send you on your job 7-8 years from when they are asking this question. What is wrong with asking you what your goals are after residency? Programs will often respond in a way that portrays how their program can help you achieve said goals.
I think not being able to answer this would show a lack of foresight.

Yes, but would you expect any college freshman to anticipate going into medicine and interviewing for a particular specialty? Most people have vague ideas but not much more than that.
I think about it, but I have no real clue. Just far too many variables.

To my experience this question is silly.
Nobody knows what he/she will do in 10 years. I was trained in a big program with tons of residents and fellows and faculty. I saw many people who entered radiology for academics and ended up in pp. I saw many who entered radiology for only IR and ended up doing DR.
The truth is after doing it for 5-6 years, esp in this age range, you are not the same. You are a different individual. A lot of things happen in this 5-6 years of life. More importantly after being out for another 5-6 years, you will be so so different. I have a few colleagues who were in university and after doing for 4-5 year, they got out.
The truth is as a doctor in general and as a radiologist specifically, the options are so wide and things change so fast, that nobody can see what he is doing in 10 years.
