How to create a custom data type drop down list with child pages/nodes

First time using Umbraco so please excuse me if this is a stupid thing to ask, but here’s my scenario.

I am currently working on a site which has a careers page and within the careers page are child pages for each current job opportunity. Now in the back end of the careers page I wish to have a drop down list of all of the current child pages (jobs) so that the user can select a page as a featured job.

I hope this makes sense : )
