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.
