I was a paperboy for a year or so in the mid-90s, for today's equivalent of about $4/day I'd get up at 5:30am to get to the newspaper shop by 6am and deliver for maybe 30-45 mins.
It's pretty miserable work in the winter, and probably a net-negative for a teenager to be missing that much sleep, but my parents believed it "built character".
