proper ones. Those who will devote some of their time/selves into the mentoring. Be it everyday or once in a while. Those actively interested in being mentored (not taught, lectured, tick-that-course'd, etc)..
And when there is someone like that, noone pays for that. So it gets even more difficult.
Somehow this mentoring thing has always been taken for given, granted, an "expectation" of being experienced/older/.., and that it happens automagicaly. Well no, does not. Needs very conscious and persistent attention from both sides. Hence Active support - if it's not purely personal.
have fun
