DAVID BECKHAM is the celebrity with the job most people want according to a new survey. 14 per cent of people said they would like his role if they were given a completely free choice.

Psychologist Donna Dawson said:

"Although it's nice to fantasise about more exciting, better-paid jobs, most people feel comfortable and secure in the jobs that they already have: you either grow to fit your job, or your job grows to fit you.Also, we may admire so-called glamorous jobs, but the downside - the lack of privacy - is enough to put us off in reality."

The research, by National Savings & Investments, revealed that only a third of people say they are currently in their ideal career, while more than two-thirds think they will never land their dream job..
