Looking for a mentor

[skyQuake]

Should also note that a good mentor wont charge you (they wont need the cash) but a crappy one will (gotta pay the bills somehow).

Love it.

Good luck with that.
If you've put in 10000 + hrs plying your trade---any trade
why would you be seen as a crappy mentor if you wanted to be paid for your time.


Show me a university that doesn't pay its lecturers.
Or a company that doesn't pay its staff for training Apprentices

Truth is you wont get a mentor and if you do they wont be worth the money you pay them ---ZERO.

Because there are rewards that are greater than money for some.

You may not classify them as 'mentors' in the traditional sense, but I can count a group of about 5 people that I could go to for help if I needed an opinion, got stuck or am outright lost. They're successful as investors and don't need my crappy sums of money for their help - they're just nice enough to do it.
I pay them nothing, but am grateful every time they provide assistance/guidance.

So long as one shows initiative, an expert willing to prod you in the right direction is available. You just can't expect to sit back and be spoon-fed.

Vast difference to a mentor
And a vast difference in expectation between you and the OP
