      I hated my paper route. I can still remember sitting in the snow on the corner folding papers at 630 am on a Saturday at age 13. Looking back it taught me a great deal.https://twitter.com/LAppiah/status/1337915922175172608 …

      Yet they also demean those with elite educations as well. I come from a blue collar immigrant fam. I had a paper route & worked as a cashier/bagger at a grocery store even when I was getting my undergrad degree from Brown. Not sure why having an honest job is worthy of mockery.

      I loved my paper route of the Detroit News. It was only way i got a little cash to save and to spend on things my parents couldn’t afford.

      Same here! I delivered a local newspaper as a kid. After school route. Saved for a commodore 64 and a Nintendo that I purchased at children's palace in 88 and 90.

      In the early 60s, was the first girl *paperboy* in our little Vermont town. People never tired of commenting on it, and I never tired of all that I learned about people and life while delivering the "Valley News" newspaper. <3

          Some heavy guy in a station wagon with a heavy Boston accent once asked me as I was walking down the street if I wanted to be a paper boy. My parents told me hell no because it was for the Herald-American. 😁

          I was a checkout girl at the supermarket before bar codes during my college vacations. I had the price of practically all the products memorized.
