FWW I delivered papers as a kid in the mid 90's for a few years, made around $30/week ($43 in todays dollars) for 2.5 hours a week. That equates to about $17/hr in todays dollars with no expenses except new roller blade bearings and wheels about once a year
. I made more money mowing grass and shoveling snow.
