What does a paperboy's job consist of?

Yes, though a lot of towns (in New England at least) are eliminating paper boys. You now must be at least 18, have a car and have your papers picked up by 3:00am. Of course, I don't know if it's like that everywhere. Take a trip down to your local newspaper or give them a call. They'd be glad to help you with any questions you might have. Oh, and the amount you make depends on how big your route is. You could probably make anywhere from $50 - $300 a week. (Again, this is going by the wages of Massachusetts and will vary in other states)
