It's a hierarchical system where you spend the most hours of your day throughout life getting bossed around. I was reminded of this, with my unemployed self, in referring to a 20 something female and talking to her boss yesterday, a guy I called her "superior". He answered that he was her superior without blinking an eye at my use of words.
Close runner-ups are the family and teachers which of course means school. But bosses take the top spot.
