This may just turn into me rambling about my life.
So in the carnival business there is a sort of hierarchy. I'll try to rank in order of highest to lowest
Carnival owner
Game or food trailer owner
Ride supervisor
Food supervisor
Game supervisor
Food employees
Game employees
Ride jocks.
Now this isn't exact for all carnivals and certain people may be higher up because of special reasons like being direct family of the carnival owner but usually they either are supervisors or food or game owners. Even though they're not always physically close family is important in the carnival business but also in my experience will work you the hardest and expect the most out of you compared to anyone else. Please please please treat everyone working at a carnival as decently as possible. This isn't just a job it takes over your entire life. Child labor laws are basically jokes to carnivals, I am not exaggerating when I say I have been working since I was a toddler but luckily I have been getting a paycheck since I was 5.
