It's not a pyramid scheme, it's a pyramid-shaped scheme - lemm.ee

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.

A phrase that would bounce around when I was in grad school.

I find this phrase rather demeaning. I am a damn good Instructional Designer, but I would eventually like to teach this to others.
Well, do while you can do. After that, you can teach?
As someone who fakes their way through life and can’t teach, it’s also demeaning to me. I don’t know what I’m doing, can’t really do it, and certainly shouldn’t be teaching anyone else.

I also find it demeaning. I can do so much, but I CHOOSE to teach.

Maybe I shouldn’t teach anymore.

So do it till you calm down later in life, and then teach younger people
