Three ways in which my college studying brother and I can supplement the family income are
- Taking up part-time jobs My brother and I can work as a part-time shop salesperson or an accountant during the evening hours.
- Self-employment My brother and I can conduct tuitions, cookery classes, make candles, tailor clothes etc during our spare time.
- Judicious use of possessions My family can use their land/ plot for growing vegetables which my brother or I can cultivate and sell.
