Most people in the world are lucky to have a job that is somewhat stable. There are very few jobs that actually keep up with inflation. What kind of jobs actually do keep up with inflation?
Do any of these?
- Doctor
- Lawyer
- Invester
- Landlord

I think it has more to do with the economic situation in your country than your occupation. If your country is affluent enough and cares about wealth sharing with its citizens, then the effects of inflation would be cushioned, regardless of your job.
Nonetheless, I think top tier athletes will always beat inflation because 1) they command high salaries due to their exceptional skills, 2) they are in high demand from sponsors n advertisers

Wealth sharing? I fail to see how redistributing stolen wealth helps cushion inflation.

Yeah I agree but one could argue that you could just earn in fiat and stack in btc. However, I do know a couple of people who get paid in btc and i feel like their mentality is different. They are more "stingy" or frugal and only "cash out" to fiat what they really need, hence potentially saving more then in a fiat job - or at least that's the impression I get. Of course if you need all that btc to cover your everyday fiat living costs, then there's not going to be too much left - but better than saving your left over peanuts in the banks. Also, it could save you money in avoiding government theft (tax), if it's nonKYC btc pay. One of the people I know is no longer going to be paid in btc as the company has decided it's not going to be doing that any longer, so that's sad for them.

I think blue collar jobs are doing pretty well. Everyone wants to be a Silicon Valley soydev these days so barbers and plumbers are free to charge an arm and a leg for their services.

Nurse.
I had a convo the other day with a nurse who remarked that she had not noticed how expensive it has become to make a basic sandwich. She remarked that she gets a generous cost of living bump each year.

That would depend on the country and/or health service or private company they worked for and perhaps also their specialization.

Since 2019 the jobs from the lower class and unskilled service industry have developed better than middle class and white collar jobs. The opposite of the two decades before that.

Currently I'm keeping up with inflation by stacking and I wish I'd done more, quicker and sooner!
I can't think of any job that would keep up with inflation, unless you own a bank or are one the elite. Perhaps, out of the 4 you listed, maybe investor if you are investing in BTC. I'm not saying that to be a stereotypical bitcoiner, I just genuinely can't think of any jobs that would - right at the moment.
I'll be interested to hear if anyone else has any ideas.

Commodities are one HODL asset investors use to protect wealth in times of inflation. Real estate might be another. Investors and landlords appear to have the advantages.

Definitely on the right track, but commodities and real estate can be pretty volatile. Sometimes dividend-paying stocks from stable companies offer better long-term protection

Dependent on government subsidies for large monocrop farmers. Small, locally-connected family farms maybe.
