Why is アルバイト in Katakana? I don't really see how it would relate to a "part time job". I sorta hear it just it isn't clear to me... I sorta hear... "I will bite you" lol
Japan used to have relations with Prussia that later turned into the German Empire. During the Meiji Restoration many aspects of the German Empiric society were copied and adapted into Japanese use, with university curriculums in natural sciences offered mainly in German being one of those aspects.
Therefore, German being the everyday language for students, they also started referring to part time work as アルバイト!

Well, I think you have your answer. But I want to add more example about it
Japanese people loan many German's word, example "Germany" they say "ドイツ", spell pretty much same like the word "Deutsch". Another word is "Thesis" they said " テーゼ ", spell almost like the word "These"
ゲレンデ from Gelände which means "terrain" or "grounds (of a school, company, park, etc.)" but in jp it's a "ski slope"
Many medical terms are German:
レントゲン from Röntgen the inventor of X-ray machines. カルテ from Karte refers to your medical chart, I believe. ギプス from Gips, the material used to make casts.
i've always interpreted メス (scalpel) as an abbreviation of Messer (knive), but it could be from the Dutch word "mes" (knive) instead. Not sure what to make of this.
there is also virus from German, and skiing also uses a lot of German laid words. it's mostly really just medical and skiing fields for German though. and old RPGs use a lot of German for spell names haha
I sorta hear it just it isn't clear to me... 
I thought it was a loan word, (Now I hear it!
) I just wasn't so sure what language, thank you again!
Lol, this ----> Happens to the best of us
