I can’t stand the normalisation of the term “side hustle” when it’s just a capitalist weasel word for having a second job.
I disagree. A second job is a "second job".
A side hustle is something you own.
I make apps on the side. I have no boss, nobody to report to. Some of them, I've made some extra loot.
Can you make me an app? I have a killer idea. Its uber-eats, but the driver has to come inside and eat dinner with you when you're lonely.
Being an instacart shopper, doordasher or Uber driver is a "side hustle." You don't own that. You're a contractor giving up labor rights to make very little extra money.
A second job is something you must attend. A "side hustle" can be picked up and put down as needed/convenient.
That's the actual difference.
Nah that's a side job.
While that definition sounds ideal, I think most people with side hustles are still working for someone, just with flexible hours. DoorDash, Uber, transcription, etc.
