side jobs
Supplemental income sources
Side jobs are work done in addition to one's primary employment, typically for extra income.
The term implies secondary status—something pursued alongside rather than instead of a main job: She does side jobs on weekends to pay off student loans.
Side jobs range from freelance work to casual labor to monetized hobbies.
The singular side job and related terms like side gig and side hustle carry similar meaning, though hustle suggests more entrepreneurial energy.
