They're both blood vessels. But unlike a artery which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, the veins carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart where it can exchange gases in the lungs later. Also, veins have valves (to prevent blood flowing backwards) where as arteries generally do not.

How are the jobs of a vein and artery the same?
Whilst the vein carries deoxygenated blood towards the heart and the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and to the muscle, both of the blood vessels are the same in that they both carry blood.
