1. Ăn mày - beggar (everybody can be a beggar in Vietnam or anyone can end up becoming a beggar regardless of your gender or background)
   

2. Bán bắp luộc (Selling boiled corn in Vietnam is just FUN) — In Vietnam, bắp luộc (boiled corn) is a popular street snack, often sold by mobile vendors pushing small carts or riding bicycles. These vendors usually carry a steaming pot of freshly boiled corn, and their signature call, 🔊 “Ai ăn bắp không? Bắp luộc đây!” (“Who wants corn? Boiled corn here!”)
   

3. Bán chổi lông gà (Selling feather dusters)
   

4. Bán chong chóng - Selling pinwheels (nostalgic and colorful part of street culture — especially during festivals, Tet (Lunar New Year), and around school areas.)
   

5. Lượm/Nhặt ve chai - “Collecting scrap/recyclable items” – Usually by walking or biking around neighborhoods to gather bottles, cans, paper, and other recyclables to sell for a small income. I used to do this as a kid. (it was kind of an adventure.)

Which job would you take? Let me know in the comment!

If you ever visit Vietnam, come join me in selling second-hand books on the street!

(Fun fact: I used to help my family sell second-hand books this way!)
