Minor Worker

Nowadays, it is not a big deal anymore if we see a minor worker in the street. There are so many minors in the street that work as a beggar, shoes polisher, and a singing beggar. Almost all of them work in the street because their parents do not have much money to pay their education in school, so the parents just ask them to work and get some money for their live than study in school and spend a lot of money. In this case, I believe that there are several reasons why the minor worker wants to work in young ages.

First, the minor worker thinks that they have to work and save their money for school in one day. I know someone in my hometown, he did not school, but he worked and saved his some money for school in the next year. Actually, government has given a free education for children whom cannot afford the cost, but the uniform is not free, and there are some schools that still ask the student to pay something that do not have to pay. The minor worker can handle it if that is really happen in their school.

Second, students can get an education from their teacher in school, but the minor worker thinks that they can get an education from other resources such as books, newspapers, and environments. There are many minors that do not school, but they still want to learn and know something. “Some of the minors are not school, but they can learn English from their environments”, said Dewa as a citizen in Bali ( Pandu, 2010).

The last one, the minor worker who think that there is nothing that has to change in their life. They just follow their parents’ order because of they have no ambition to live better. There are so much minor workers in the street that have no ambition to live better, they just live to get some money, and then they use it to live, if there is no money, they will try to get it and use it again, they just do it continuously. I did something like observation with my classmates, I asked them what they think about this third reason, and 75% of them think that almost the entire minor worker is have no ambition to change their life to be better.

So, I think that there are three reasons why the minor worker wants to work in young ages, the first one is the minor worker thinks that they have to work and save their money for school in one day, the second one is the minor worker thinks that they can get an education without school, and the last one is the minor worker who thinks that there is nothing that has to change and have no ambition in their life, they just live their life that already existed.
