These are the most attractive jobs to have when looking for a date

Is it too late to get into medicine?

Always trying to maximize our knowledge of the opposite sex, Match.com have released a survey from its UK users showing what jobs are most attractive to women and men.

Presuming we are not that different to our neighbours, we can learn a lot from this survey.

Doctors are a hit with the ladies, with 6% preferring a medical professional over all other types of jobs.

Next in line is the legal profession (also 6 per cent) followed by teaching at 5 per cent.

Men, on the other hand, are looking for a teacher or a secretary with medical professionals coming in third place.

Both men and women rated media professionals in the top 10 (phew) and men said they wanted to date a model as much as they wanted to date a woman in construction, which is 1.9 per cent.
