Essay question answer

Ok, so I have a question about an essay question. Let’s say, for example, the essay question is (I’m thinking of something generic) “Describe an event/events which have helped shape what you want to be after college”.

If I were to answer something along the lines of “I’m not sure what I want to be, but I know what I don’t want to because of this reason, this, and that.”

When I talk about what I don’t want to be, I’m talking about the type of person, type of employee, etc. Would a college admissions person look unfavorable towards an answer that doesn’t really specifically answer the question?

Thanks!
