side hustler
Spare-time entrepreneur
A side hustler is someone who pursues income-generating work outside their primary job.
The term emerged from *side hustle*—a secondary gig pursued for extra money or creative fulfillment: She's a side hustler selling vintage clothes on weekends.
The label often carries entrepreneurial connotations, suggesting ambition beyond conventional employment.
