Just as you said they mean the same thing, the difference is in their feeling I guess haha.
Verbs:
(att) arbeta - (to) work
(att) jobba - (to) work
Nouns:
(ett) arbete - (a) work
(ett) jobb - (a) job
For me, jobba sounds more like you being att work, doesn't really matter what you do. Where as arbete gives off a feeling of actaully working. Does that make any sense haha?
They're almost (?) always interchangable though 😊
