side job
Secondary income source
A side job is work done in addition to one's primary employment, typically for extra income.
The term emphasizes its secondary nature—something pursued alongside a main career rather than as a full-time commitment: She drives for Uber as a side job.
Side jobs range from freelance work to small businesses to occasional gigs.
Also called a side gig or side hustle, though hustle implies more entrepreneurial energy.
