Futurologists predict the lucrative careers for 2030 could include “vertical farmer” or “body part maker", The Telegraph reports.

Experts warn that it would be wrong to assume that today’s money-spinning vocations – such as banking, law or stockbroking – will remain the best paid jobs of the future.

In 10 to 20 years’ time the chances are that our jobs – and the way we work – will be very different, if predictions by leading futurologists are any guide.

Job titles that do not exist now, such as "elderly care consultant” and "time broker" could be mainstream professions, in much the same way that social media consultants have emerged in the past five years.
