| I just did it for my friend for 12 days. All I can say is uggg...the pay sounds good, but here you are a contractor, so you are responisible for making sure you don't spend the money you need to give the IRS for taxes.  I'm not good at that.I had to get up and be there by 2 a.m. (I delivered an avg of 144 papers during the week and 160 to 190 on Fri/Sat/Sun). It took about 45 mins+ to bag and rubberband the papers. You have a deadline of 5:30a.m. to have the papers delivered by. Frequently our papers didn't arrive until 3 and the deadline would be pushed an hour. I spent over $300 in gas alone. So you finish by 5:30-6:30, you then go home shower, got to work, get home, do house chores, cook, deal with dogs and kids. Finally sleep by 10 or 10:30 only to have to get up at 1:00 am to make coffee and get to papers by 2am. There were some nights I didn't even go to sleep because I figured sleeping for 2 hours would just make me even more tired. About 3 days into this I became extremely sleep deprived. I started falling asleep at my 8 to 5 job. It was grueling. My daughter and her friend helped, which was great, because they got to run the papers up all the stairs. (we did a lot of apartments). Anyway, just some things to think about. The girl I substituted for has a baby and her and her husband share the route. I too could use the extra income, but I don't know, I'm not convinced it was worth it.

I did it as a kid, and it was kinda fun alothough I had to get up super early to do the morning paper. Like 2am or something crazy like that. Once I had a dog chase me though and it was scary, but that was the only thing.
