Inspired by another thread about worst jobs. What are the coolest/sexiest jobs?

A very talented artist of some some sort. Or a job that pays a fortune? Beyond that I don’t see how a career can make a person appealing.

Oops, turns out I haven't even read the last few comments but glad to see eachtiger agrees!

Firefighters, policemen, builders, carpenters, landscape gardeners...

is asleep on the sofa in manky scrubs!
🤮 my scrubs do not touch the house!

I think men look sexy in scrubs (DH does, although surgical ones so they don't even get to touch the car) but the disruptive hours and work consumed life of a doctor don't really do it for me. So I'll say Vet. For the scrubs and the fluffy animal bonus!

Or maybe a farmer or a gardener or a tree surgeon... strong, muscly, down to earth, outsidey, grubby, but not hospital grubby Grin

A fantastic inspirational teacher
A human rights lawyer
A fantastic sahd

Anything suited and booted with a nicely fitted shirt gets me Blush

Surely its not what they do when they are out working, more what they do when home, although would have to draw the line at mortician.

FTFF yes yes to armed police, they get the pulse racing, something about all that gear and looking serious I think. Reminded me of the Richard madden in the bodyguard...although less gear but still phoar!!

Ooh good thread! I confess IT guys get me hot under the collar...all that pent-up energy whilst they go about their clever problem solving in their mancaves....I love a nerd!!

Surprised so few people have said film director or painter or other artistic pursuits, always find those men the sexiest. It's the power to invent stuff that does it for me. If also got great looks, I'm done for.

I always wanted to marry a chef, I did, the hours are very long, but didn't bother until we had DC.

A very wealthy farmer who wants me to stay home and tweak the herb garden while he does manly things with tractors

ISeeTheLight · 13/01/2019 15:01

A writer. Successful obviously as I don't want to be poor.
A musician. As above.
We had a particularly hot carpet layer. Yum.

DP is in law (studied to be a barrister) and whilst initially sexy what with the suit and smooth talking, it soon loses its shine - you will NEVER win an argument. And he loves to play the devil's advocate. Or argue just for shits and giggles. Urgh. I love him really.

A mate's wife initially found it sexy as hell being married to a special forces officer.

Then she realised that he was away 9 months of the year and, in reality, killed people for a living.

It got a bit less sexy after that.

KatyChampion · 13/01/2019 17:14

Banker :)

I did some research on this. Dolphin trainer came out on top. As it were.

glowingtwigs · 13/01/2019 17:16

'Stay home and tweak the herb garden' @thighofrelief101 😆 this is a life I would like!!

Pia77 · 13/01/2019 21:12

I love this 👌

A mate's wife initially found it sexy as hell being married to a special forces officer.

Her initial thoughts were naive and over romanticised in the extreme.

anniehm · 13/01/2019 21:31

My friends husband is a space scientist, pretty cool, scientists in general but I'm a bit of a nerd!

Gumps · 13/01/2019 21:59

My husband was a rugby player. Very sexy. Now he is a rugby coach and I get to spend time with hot 20 year old rugby players #winning

Whyyounoeatmypie · 13/01/2019 22:02

I've never been into stereotypically masculine types...husband used to be a classical ballet dancer, trained as a dance therapist and is currently a sahd. He's the kindest and most emotionally literate person I know, which I find hella sexy.

Haha, I'm just home having been up to my elbows in a dog's tummy this evening..was in work since 8am. Yesterday was similar. Tomorrow 8am-7.30pm. My feet and back are a bit shagged and I ate lukewarm chips like a savage when I came in without bothering to reheat them. I get that fixing cute animals could be considered sexy, but the working hours not so much!

NellieEllieMummy · 13/01/2019 22:41

Bunnyfuller - my husband is a fighter pilot and is not short, he is 6 feet 1 and broad. Many of his colleagues are tall too. It was just Tom Cruise that was short. It's the femur length that matters for the ejector seat.
Oh and for the record, fighter pilots are pretty sexy.

SpiritedLondon · 13/01/2019 23:04

I met a German fighter pilot who looked like a young Richard Gere and rode a Harley Davidson..... he was tall and about as sexy as they came.
