Jobs – Paper Boy

Posted by admin on Tuesday Jan 31, 2012 Under Jobs



Okay, don’t laugh. It’s a job and it can be a darn good paying one if you have a good route. Being a newspaper delivery boy isn’t what it used to be many years ago. Today, newspapers are much more efficiently run and the delivery services themselves have been upgraded drastically. Today’s paper boy doesn’t work anywhere near as hard as the paper boy of the 1970s. So if you’re thinking this is something that you don’t want to do, you might think differently after reading this review of exactly what a paperboy does and gets paid.

Paper boys of the 21st century have it made. Of course this isn’t a job that a 10 year old is going to be able to do anymore, at least not if he wants to make the big bucks. Today’s paper routes are much larger than they were years ago. So in order to work today’s routes you’re going to need a car, preferably one with a lot of trunk space. An SUV, van or truck may even help. Years ago, a route was maybe 100 papers. Today, a route can be up to 1000 papers if you get a really good route.

The first thing you need to do is contact the local newspaper in your area and tell them you want to route. They’ll ask you where you live and try to assign you one that is close by. They will ask you if you have a vehicle. When you get hired, they will give you a destination to go to in order to pick up your papers. Yes, you do have to pick them up yourself. They don’t deliver them to your door. On normal days there won’t be anything more to do than to pick up the papers and throw them in your car. But on Sundays things are a little different. The Sunday paper comes in sections and before you can deliver each paper you have to put the sections together. This can be very time consuming, so on Sunday you better be prepared to get up a little earlier and work a little longer. But it’s worth it because the Sunday papers are very expensive today and the commissions you get on them are very nice.

After the papers are put together you will have a route sheet to look at. This will have the addresses of every subscriber. You better either know the area well or have a map with you or you’re going to get very lost and your job is going to take you all day to complete. This is not good when you have people who are expecting their paper by 7 AM.

After you have delivered all your papers, you return home and report in to the main office that the route for that day has been completed. They’ll ask you the time of completion and how long it took you. If they see you’re taking longer than expected you may not keep your job long as this will lead to unhappy customers.

Years ago, when papers were 10 cents, you got paid 2 cents on every paper, or 20 percent. Today, the percentages are closer to 30 percent and with papers going for 50 cents a pop during the week and $1.00 on Sunday, you can make a nice part time income for an hour of work a day.

Being a paper boy isn’t what it used to be.

This is a huge concern to a disabled athlete if they wish to return to the activity. Head injuries and lower back pain can also be aided by the knowledge of a PT. Often learning how to use assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, prosthetics, and crutches are necessary for the injured patient. Jobs in physical therapy also involve helping the patient learn to use these types of equipment. As the patient makes progress, reevaluation of the patient’s condition is assessed. Then treatment plans are often updated or modified

Posted by admin on Tuesday Jan 31, 2012 Under Shopping



Brighton, located in southern England, is considered to be a very fashionable and exciting town to visit or live in for that matter. It is a sea side resort town, which means one can expect all of the sights and sounds associated with seaside towns. Because of its geographic proximity to London, (only 3 hours by train from London) Brighton has become a favourite place for yuppies and alternative lifestyle communities to “hang out”. The numbers says it all; Brighton is visited by nearly 9 million tourists each year! What more proof does one need of the roaring popularity of this once humble seaside town!

As far as sights and sounds go, Brighton has it all. Sizzling beaches frequented by even more sizzling people, beautiful bluish-green sea water, great night life with plenty of music and entertainment, plenty of life and gaiety, wherever you look, one gets the picture! In fact, some travel magazines even go as far as describing Brighton as a miniature version of Las Vegas! Need one say more? In short Brighton has grown to easily become one of the hippest towns in all of UK, if not all of Europe! Each day thousands day time visitors and sunbathers throng to this city.

A bit of history

Like many coastal villages of Europe, Brighton was just another fishing village, dating back to the Middle Ages. Being a coastal town it also meant that it was vulnerable to foreign attacks. Many cultures, from the Saxons to the Dutch, have left their foot prints on this town. By the late 19th century the final blow was struck when bad weather and worse economy all but destroyed this small town. However, a few decades later the fortunes of Brighton turned for the better when a well known doctor named Richard Russell, wrote in one of his books stating that taking a bath in the sea water of Brighton was good for one’s health! Ever since, Brighton has never had to look back, and the popularity of this town grew exponentially, which continues to this day.

However, Brighton is not all about lively parties and nightlife. It is true that there enough pubs to make even the most discerning traveller happy, but some of the hotels in Brighton are also amazing. Not only that, the presence of several colleges ensures that the pub scene remains very lively and interesting. On the other hand there are other activities available also such as shopping and sightseeing. In fact, the shopping scene in Brighton is capable of keeping the most hardcore shopaholic busy all day. The 3 most popular shopping areas are North Lanes, Churchill Square and The Lanes. Each of these locations has its own distinct characteristics. North Lane has all the quirky stores where you can find unusual objects, Churchill square has all the familiar store names and is frequented more by families, Lanes is the place to go to if one is into jewellery and antiques.
