You need to give more information. What do you want to be selected and when?

If you want a default value put

Ruby Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
t.column :favourite_colour_id, :integer, :default => 1
t.column :favourite_colour_id, :integer, :default => 1

in your migration.

If you are loading an existing record (for editing) the correct value should already be selected in the select box.

If you are still stuck please paste your controller and view code.

Ah - I see what you mean now.

Try something like this (for this i'm assuming a person has many jobs):

Ruby Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<%= collection_select 
	:person, 
	:job_ids,
	Job.find(:all),
	:id, 
	:description,
	{},
	:multiple => true,
	:name => 'person[job_ids][]' 
%>
<%= collection_select 
	:person, 
	:job_ids,
	Job.find(:all),
	:id, 
	:description,
	{},
	:multiple => true,
	:name => 'person[job_ids][]' 
%>
