The face of greed and exploitation used to be a millionaire. But since Bernie, Michael Moore, and Ilhan Omar exceed that threshold, they had to substitute a "b" for "m." However, those condemned to the guillotine aren't named Soros, Pritzker, Gates, Steyer, or Hoffman.
As a junior, I was a teaching fellow for introductory biology labs at Harvard. I didn't feel underqualified.
That said, some section meetings run by graduate students were among my best undergraduate experiences.
In the introductory neurobiology course, our section meetings started going longer than the scheduled hour, and students started switching to other sections. Soon we were down to 2 undergraduates and meeting for 3 hours. All 3 of us, the 2 undergraduates and the graduate student, ended up on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, with one in neurobiology and one in neurology.
For organic chemistry there was a supplemental section for people who wanted to learn the minicomputer-based software being developed in the department to advise on synthesis of complicated organic molecules. I didn't have time to take a second section, but I went to the orientation meeting to get a flavor of the software project. I decided I couldn't miss this, and what I learned from that supplemental section on how the software approached chemical synthesis made it such that the hard problems on the final exam were easy to solve. That experience is the inspiration for our "Elements of Diagnosis" instructional material using our medical diagnostic software: https://simulconsult.com/elements/
Students should go to section meetings. Bill Gates often skipped classes, but his teaching fellow for that neurobiology course told me that Gates showed up for the sections. (That teaching fellow also became a HMS faculty member in neurology).

Imagine substituting “Jew” for “billionaire” in that merch. Hey, it will probably happen in the administration of Mayor Zamboni.
