Paper Boy

Intro
News papers, a billion dollar industry. The most common way of local news. Millions of people read the local daily newspaper. But how do they get from the press to the costumer? By kids, by the paperboys, for a fair salary of $20-$35 dollars a week, depending on the size of your newspaper route

How it works
The local newspaper company divides the city or town into areas it which a paperboy delivers the newspaper. Anyone(10-UP) can be a paperboy. In this article I will give you tips and tricks on how.

Before deciding to become a paperboy, ask yourself the following.

DO I HAVE THE TIME TO DELIVER THE NEWSPAPER ON TIME(most companies require the paper to be delivered by a certain time)

DO I HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BE A PAPER BOY

DO I HAVE A BACKUP PLAN IF SOMETHING HAPPENS(A person who could deliver when I am sick, hurt, family crisis, ext.)

AM I WILLING TO DELIVER IN BAD WEATHER(Rain, Snow, ext.)

Become a paperboy
To become a paperboy, go to your local newspaper company. Then ask them if you area is looking for a paperboy (tell them your correct information, it is important so they can determine your area). If a job is open in your neighborhood you have the job.

Delivering (If delivering in the morning)
When delivering, find the shortest route for you. For transportation, I recommend a bike(preferably with a rack on the back). To deliver, ride your bike to the house, GET OFF THE BIKE and put the paper in there newspaper slot(usually under the mail box). It is great customer service.

Go, apply, start earning an income.

If you go to this website all the way on the bottom there will be some jobs that can be available for you but i'm not sure u will need a permit or not. Besides your not the only one that's looking for a job so it might be tough to get one even if you can get a job. But if you have like a trusted neighbor ask them if you can get a job from them like babysitting, dogsitting, mowing their lawn, and other stuff like that. http://lwd.dol.state.nj.us/labor/wagehour/content/child_labor.html
