I did a paper round for four or five years.
I reckon it's a pretty OK job. I'd only have been sleeping otherwise anyway, I quite liked going for a decent walk every morning, and after the first few months I could essentially do the whole thing with my eyes shut.

The only bad bits were carrying the Saturday papers up the fucking massive hill at the start of my round, and the danger of finger injury from letterboxes with too strong springs.

I only did it daily for a couple of years,
after that just Sundays.

Full disclosure, right here.
