No more paperboys anymore. You have to be over 18. The Glob led the rest of them to get rid of paperboys as it was child labor. So now kids mug each other instead.
I delivered papers during the 1975-77 period. Started out making $15 a week and eventually got to $40 a week as my route and tips grew. That was good money in those days for a youngster to make for basically working an hour a day. Christmas 1976 was a very good one for me. I brought in almost $200 in tips! I felt like the richest kid in town - and for that moment in time, I probably was.
It's a shame they don't let kids deliver papers anymore because it's a great way to learn responsibility. It didn't matter if I was sick or if it was pouring rain outside - those papers had to be delivered!
