I disagree.

When you say “capitalizing on opportunities that may come my way.”

They hear “I’ll be leaving this company as soon as something that looks better comes along.”

My answer would be:

To be working for a successful company, that appreciate and utilize my ability’s. To be thinking about starting a family. And to be a part of the company, if you see fit…
