Can I do both gig work and a part-time job?

Yes, and many people do. The key is to protect your rest and to only accept gig shifts that clearly fit around your part-time schedule.

Which pays more per hour?

It depends on the role, location, and time of day. Peak evening and weekend shifts on gig platforms often pay well, while part-time jobs offer more predictable weekly pay.

Is gig work sustainable long term?

For workers who build strong reputations and preferred venue relationships, yes. Sustainability comes from consistency, not from chasing every shift.
