That's the hardest question to answer since I am compelled to be honest and my honest answer is usually "Ha, I don't want to work here."

Right? Like, bruh I want to be using my degree to research wildlife and help with conservation efforts that have been a pervasive social issue since I was a kid watching Captain Planet, but those jobs are some of the most competitive while also being some of the worst paying.

Unfortunately, I need food and shelter yet those are becoming increasingly expensive, thus making it even harder for me to ever hope I'll get to use my degree at a professional level.

So, I'm sitting here applying to be [insert some bullshit, mundane job here] so I don't starve. I would literally rather be anywhere else than here begging from you for the means to fucking exist in this society.

But you can't say that in an interview.

Well, you can; you just won't get the job.
