Its official - a man in uniform really does get our hearts racing.

A recent survey tried to gauge the sexiest profession, and discovered that the classic image of a beefy and brave man was still top.

Salary.com Inc's poll revealed that fire fighters still melted our hearts, followed by buff personal trainers and powerful CEOs.

The general public also fell for the charms of cheeky bartenders, dashing pilots, naughty nurses and ravishing surgeons as well as creative photographers, strong soldiers and steely cowboys.

Meredith Hanrahan, chief marketing officer of Salary.com, told the Boston Business Journal: "One of the most refreshing aspects of our fun and informal survey is the high value consumers put on the job titles of fire fighters, nurses, surgeons and soldiers, where individuals are protecting and saving lives."

Sounds like public sector work is the way to pull then!
