意思
Extra work outside main hours.
文化背景
Working while studying is increasingly seen as a sign of independence and maturity, moving away from the old view that students should only focus on books. The concept of 'Arubaito' is so ingrained that there are specific manners and honorifics used only in part-time service jobs. The 'Side Hustle' culture is similar to 'làm thêm', but often focuses more on entrepreneurship and 'being your own boss' than just extra hours. 'Alba' culture is very competitive, and having a 'good' Alba (like in a high-end cafe) is a status symbol for some students.
