'Nurses, firemen and lawyers' have sexiest jobs

A new survey finds nurses and firemen have the jobs with the biggest pulling power for the opposite sex.
Any job requiring a uniform or a smart suit is a turn on for most, according to the research.
Lawyers, air hostesses, police officers and doctors all have sexy jobs, according to the survey.
Nurses were the top turn-on for men and firemen for women. Men in suits were also liked by 41% of women - well above the casual dress down look.
The Top Totty League survey of 1,000 people was carried out by Fish4jobs, an online job search service.
Professor Robert Edelman, a fellow of the British Psychological Society, said: "The sexiest careers results suggests that gender stereotypes are alive and well with nurses still being male fantasy objects and firemen being women's.
"Typically, men prefer uniformed women in less assertive caring roles like nurses and air hostesses."
Female nurses (26%), air hostesses (20%), doctors (13%) and lawyers (13%) lead the sex appeal chart for men, and firemen (48%) and policemen (24%) for women.
Only 10% of women rate personal trainers as their favourite male profession but 13% prefer a finance director because of the combination of a suit and money.
