I was a paperboy from when I was 12 till I was 17. I had one route early in the morning and another in the evening. 20 years later if I am in my old town I can still remember which houses received a paper and the acrobatics I need to get to there front door without getting off my bike. In the Netherlands we don't do the thing I see in American movies where you just throw the paper on people lawn (is that really a thing? seems kinda cool).
I actually remember it fondly. Listening to my favorite music with a huge disc-man in my trouser pockets. Also remember it payed quite well. I ended up with about a thousand euros a month, which for a teenager without any obligations is a huge sum.
