Especially in this economy where pretty much every job is hard to get. I'm not a big fan of '5 year plans'. Mostly because I've scrapped every 5 year plan I've ever made within two years of making it after determining that the plan was taking me in a direction I didn't want to go. I'm more in the camp of try for a job you think you might like and be good at. If it doesn't work out, jump ship after a year or two and try again. Eventually you'll stumble onto something that you actually like, are good at and pays decently. Or to put it another way... the perfect job.
