You don't have to lie about this. My current job I simply told them it looks interesting, that I'd like starting a greenfield project, smaller company would be interesting change of pace, and that it helped move my career in a good direction as I want to change industries.

I just want to make a little money working in the summer dude.

"Do you have any questions?"
"Yes. What is it about your job that makes coming to work worth the time and effort you put in it?"

My daughter got a job cleaning houses. Her trainer said: don’t do this just for the money. Me: Right. Do it for the fame and glamour.

I applied for a job I wasn't interested in. I didn't prepare at all, Turned up late, gave crap answers, didn't ask any questions, interviewers were dicks, I was a dick....... and I got the job. Two years later...... Here we are.
