Ask any schoolboy what he wants to be when he grows up and you might expect dreams of becoming a top international sportsman to rank high amongst the answers.

But recent research has revealed that in the league of most sought-after jobs, working for the EU institutions apparently has more allure than becoming a Formula One racing driver, a golf pro, or strutting the catwalk with the likes of super models Naomi Campbell or Claudia Schiffer.

That was the surprising conclusion of an article in the Finnish women's magazine Gloria - although it does not say whether the attraction is the pay or the glamour.

The least desirable jobs? After bodybuilder, air hostess, doorman and equality ombudsman come statistician and United Nations official.
