I was about 8 when I first delivered a newspaper. My brother was 4 years older than me and had a really large route for the morning paper. I would go with him sometimes delivering and when he was collecting. I think he paid me with a free chocolate milk he got from the guys at the milk company and a free donut from the owner of the diner he delivered to. At 12, I got my own route for the afternoon paper. Did that for 4 years and then, 1 day after turning 16, I got a job at McDonald's. Worked there until I went away to college. During college I always had a job on campus as well as a summer job. Thinking about this makes me realize I have been working for too long !
