How The Same First Job Shaped Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle And Walt Disney's Views And Careers

FYI: Self-made billionaire Warren Buffett had plenty of side hustles as a kid, ranging from selling sticks of gum and used golf balls to launching a thriving pinball machine empire, but it was his job as a paperboy that may have left the longest-lasting impression on the entrepreneur.

Going door-to-door delivering newspapers in the 1940s not only helped Buffett earn $2,000 by the time he was 15 years old, it taught him the value of waking up early and working hard in order to advance.

Buffett’s longtime friend and legendary investor Jack Bogle, as well as celebrity animator Walt Disney, also worked as paperboys when they were young. Here's what they learned in the process.
