Ah yes paper routes. Do kids have paper routes anymore?
In my area anyway, all paper delivery is done by adults in trucks or vans.
Somebody told me that due to child labor laws, and concerns about child molesters, newspapers converted delivery into an adult occupation only.
Being a paperboy teaches you everything you need to know in life. Really.
Not that I've seen.
I was kind of lucky. The paper I worked for required you to be 12, but Mom knew someone there, and asked them to let me try it out at age 10.
At 12, I had two routes.
The paper I worked for was afternoon only, Monday through Saturday, with no Sunday delivery.
About 2 years in, they changed from a Saturday afternoon delivery, to a Sunday morning delivery, with all other days remaining afternoon.
We kids delivering papers loved it because it freed up our Saturday afternoons.
