Most workers are not in jobs they wanted as school-leavers and many still dream of becoming footballers, actors or models, a survey claims.

Tim Watts, chairman of recruitment firm Pertemps, which conducted the research, said: "It is disturbing to find that so many people feel unsettled at work and wish they could do something else."
