ぼくいらん子やからどこでもええのやけど、あらへんわァ　あほやしなあ……

1976年10月22日、近くの銭湯に行くと、入口で風呂上がりの青年が番台のおじさんと話していた。どうも、就職口がなかなか見つからないというような会話らしい。
昔の日本では、子供の数が多かったので、下にいくほど親も気配りが回らなくなって勝手に育て状態。この青年も、そんな家庭の子だったのか……自嘲気味の会話には、すでに人生に疲れた気配も濃厚……彼は、その後、うまく就職できたのだろうか。

I'm worthless child for my parents, so they don't care my life, my job. But still I can't find any job. anyway I'm so stupid……

A young man after taking a bath was talking with a man of the public bath at an entrance when I went to that public bath nearby on October 22, 1976. And, it seems to be a conversation about his job. His job is still not found.
In the old Japanese family, there was much number of children, so parents could not mind all, especially younger one. This young man would be belong to such family maybe. From the conversation that shows a slight self-mockery, I guess he is already tired at his life. Would a good workplace be found to him afterwards?
