A quarter of workers in the UK are thought to have a side hustle. It seems that more and more people want to put their skills and passions into practice to make extra money. These tend to be entrepreneurial young people who want to work on their own projects alongside their main source of income. Are you one of them? Neil and Rob discuss side hustles and teach you related vocabulary.

my second job, oh! my second study is learning French except my premier love BBC
I am from India. I love British English. It has quick pronunciation because some letters are omitted if they are difficult to pronounce. Whereas there is nothing like that in American English. I suggest you to make us speak start a program.
I don't have the second job but i would prefer to have. I think it's really good to see different things on your work. Try different activities on your work or job can help you stay motivated and not get bored at all if i am not wrong. It's a good chance to find yourself. Your true self. There were many reasons why i haven't had the second job. One of my reason was about time. i didn't have time to work at the second job. Thanks BBC a lot🙌

Thanks for listening! 😀
Thanks BBC learning English for this enjoyable podcast.
شكرا
Thanks BBC
My note while listening
the topic today is about having a second job which is also called a side hustle or a sideline.
Many people choose to work 2 jobs simultaneously as a way to make ends meet or put their interests and passion into practice and make extra money at the same time.
1. In the case of Elspeth Jackson, her side hustle is so satisfying that she turned it into her day job.
2. Becci Mae Ford mentioned that juggling between 2 different job is not an easy task at all. However, she also thinks it’s a chance to reach creative balance.
I do appreciate BBC as well.
thank so much
Thanks a lot because i came to know many vocabulary through bbc learning
That's great to hear, Saini Kapoor! :)
Thanks 😚
I really love this channel
Regards ❤
I learnt very useful vocabulary from this session. This class is really informative. Thanks Rob n Neil for your sincere efforts.
Hi! How can learned vocabulary? If you find first watch word, how did you understood that word?
Many people are turning to side hustle to put their skills into effect as well as to earn more money. Some people earn what makes ends meet not to mention their jobs have become a real grind. So instead of sacrificing their secure jobs as well as getting creative balance , they start a second job which involves their interests. It might be hard juggling two jobs, but eventually they become accustomed to the new lifestyle.
Just trying to put the new words into use
I really appreciate this program I enjoy seeing it a lot I m from Algeria
I like these vidoe i learning more vocabulary and alot benefits i second learning job the new fece people we help each on other
I work with Web Designer 5 days a week 7h to 5h and the money that i make isn't enough to pay my bills and I'm a good guitar player and on weekends I like to play guitar in some pubs in my city, I love it, and I feel so happy. If I could, I'd like to change my job and leave the officer and go to play in some funny places.
You are the best ever
I love ❤️ BBC! It help me learn English 💗
That's great!
❤️ ♥️ 💜 💕 💗
Sideline: extra job
Make ends meet: have exactly enough money to pay for the thing we need
Thank you, BBC. 💚
Good job guys
Thank you so much for the information. Well, regarding to my country Peru, this carrer was set up in 2010, so it's relatively new but my friend works as an audit manager and she earns a good salary.
Side hustle embrace has been become a trendy option when it comes to submerging one into fiding happiness through working. Alongside the supplementary workload, a greater amount of income would be yielded helping the hustlers have more disposable money so as to get a better lives. This is likely, however, to render more stressful time when this type of employee have to juggle two intense tasks at the same time which require highly focused brain capacity. In fact, more and more people have become accustomed to this working styles due to probably receiving tremendous praise from both individual and social side.
Trying to put into practice
Has -been- become*
I agree with that workers have got other staff to make 💰 👌

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the verb "To moonlight"
Another great verb! Thank you for sharing it here, Sergio! I think possibly we might think of the verb 'to moonlight' as maybe a little old fashioned! But it's still a great word and right on topic.
Neil
Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I'm Neil. This is the programme where in just six minutes we discuss an interesting topic and teach some related English vocabulary. Joining me to do this is Rob.
Rob
Hello.
Neil
Now Rob, we know your main job is to work here at BBC Learning English but do you have a second job?
Rob
There's no time for two jobs Neil, but if there was, I think I'd take photographs and sell them. I do love photography so I might as well make some money from it.
Neil
Good thinking, Rob! And having a second job, particularly one that involves using your skills and allows you to follow your interests, is called a side hustle.
Rob
Yes, a side hustle. It's something more and more of us are involved with these days. And that's what we'll be talking about shortly.
Neil
Well, my side hustle should be quiz master, because I'm always asking questions and today is no exception. According to the employee ratings website Glassdoor, which job is thought to be the best to have in the UK this year? Is it…
a) a software engineer
b) a teacher, o
c) an audit manager?
Rob
Hmm, well, I suspect b) a teacher.
Neil
Well, you’ll have to wait until the end of the programme to find out. But let's talk more about side hustles - or a second job. For some people having two jobs is a necessity - a way to make ends meet. That means 'having just enough money to pay for the things you need'.
Rob
That's true but it now seems that more people want to put their skills and passions into practice to make extra money.
Neil
According to research by Henley Business School, around one in four workers run at least one side-hustle business, half of which were started in the past two years. Those aged 25 to 34 are most likely to be involved with 37% thought to run a sideline of some kind. A sideline also describes an extra job you do alongside your main job. BBC Radio 5 Live spoke to someone whose side hustle was so satisfying that that it turned into her day job. Here is Elspeth Jackson, founder of Ragged Life, to explain why.
Elspeth Jackson, founder of Ragged Life
It's a different environment entirely because you're leaving essentially a very regular wage that you'd get the same amount in month after month, you can put aside savings, the same amount every month and you have that certain amount of security. But now I don't think I could go back to one of these big companies because you'd essentially be sacrificing the flexibility which is something I've become very accustomed to now.
Neil
Things have worked out well for Elspeth. But there were risks - for example, leaving behind the security- the safety - of a regular job and of course, a regular income.
Rob
Elspeth liked making rag rugs. This has given her flexibility in her life and returning to work at a big company would be sacrificing that. That means 'giving something up' or 'going without it'.
Neil
And for Elspeth, her side hustle has become a full-time job and she's become accustomed to her lifestyle. It's become familiar or normal.
Rob
The BBC also spoke to Becci Mae Ford, who works some of the time for a telecommunications company to pay the bills, but spends the rest of her time developing her own crafting company Ellbie Co. How did she find having two jobs?
Becci Mae Ford, Ellbie Co.
I think it just gives me creative balance, and obviously working for the telecoms firm it gets me out the house and gets me to meet people in a social environment. It can be difficult to juggle the two though definitely. It's definitely a grind. It's a lot harder than people think it's going to be.
Neil
So Becci implies that it's not always easy to have a side hustle. The benefit for her is the creative balance - a good mix of doing office-based work, regular tasks and a routine, with working creatively, making things and getting pleasure from it.
Rob
But juggling - or balancing these two things is difficult and she described her side hustle as sometimes being a grind - hard work, tiring and occasionally boring. But overall, it does make her happy.
Neil
Now something that would make me happy is to give you the answer to today's quiz question. Earlier I asked you, according to the employee ratings website Glassdoor, which job is thought to be the best to have in the UK this year? Is it…
a) a software engineer
b) a teacher, or
c) an audit manager?
Rob
Yes and I said b) a teacher - always the best job in the world!
Neil
Sadly not, Rob. Apparently, it is c) an audit manager that is considered to be the best job to have this year. Audit managers are responsible for organising and overseeing internal audits. The result was based on three factors: average annual base salary, the current number of job openings, and job satisfaction, according to ratings shared by employees on the website over the past 12 months.
Rob
So sounds like an interesting job for a side hustle, but before I head off for a career change, let's remind ourselves of the main vocabulary we've discussed, starting with to make ends meet.
Neil
When we make ends meet, we have just enough money to pay for the things we need.
Rob
Next, we mentioneda sideline which describes an extra job you do alongside your main job.
Neil
Then we had sacrificing. That means giving up something important or going without something.
Rob
Accustomed is a word to mean usual or normal. If you get accustomed to doing something, it becomes the normal way of doing it - it becomes familiar.
Neil
We also talked about the expression creative balance. That describes getting the best mix of doing creative and uncreative tasks.
Rob
And finally, grind describes doing something that is tiring, difficult, sometimes boring and involves lots of effort.
Neil
Well this programme has not been a grind, Rob. It's been six minutes of pleasure. Don't forget you can learn more English with us on our website bbclearningenglish.com.
Rob

Neil

Thank you.

What does this sentence mean? Is it more or less 30 years?
(( It was not until more than 30 years later that their skeletons were found)).
Thank you .
Hi, it means that their skeletons were found more than 30 years later. The phrase 'it was not until' is added at the beginning to emphasise that this was a long time.
