That makes two of us
That's what I thought, too. If I recall, the interviewer DID ask where I hoped to be and I said something to the effect of "I would hope to have moved into system administration" and explained that was what I wanted to do (my degree's in Network Administration). She then said something like "So since you want to move into administration what would you hope to get out of a tech support position like this?", at which point I basically knew I was screwed.
Like I said, though, to me any company (governmental or otherwise; this particular position was with the county I live in) that disqualifies a candidate for wanting to advance at some point in their career shows that they would never promote you, and isn't the type of business you'd want to work for in the first place.
