The question "would I do this for 10 years" or "Do I see myself doing this in 10 years" allows for the possibility that they don't see themselves continuing for that duration and it allows the person to not look that forward into the future realistically. Rather an answer of "YES!" really shows enthusiasm and passion that they currently have in the present day.
The question is about the future, but the answer is about the present.
A better question, therefore should reflect this reality. Something like: "Do you feel like your current interest and enthusiasm for this would keep you going for years here?" (or better worded...).
