Obviously, you want a job to pay your bills but during your interview is not the time to bring this up. Why did you choose to interview for this particular position? Do their goals match up with yours? Did you want to start working with adults because you've spent the last five years working with children? Whatever your reason, make your answer positive and throw in how you can bring something to the table.
