- jonathaneunice 12y agoSo just wait around and hope? Whyever would one commit to such a random, unlikely path? Perhaps finding a good mentor is not easy, and chance often plays a role in us finding such relationships (also true for friends, mates, and other non-mentor relationships). But to expect chance to provide? Not an actionable plan, IMO.
- crististm 12y agoNo, of course not. But a mentor is not a trainer to go out and hire. The best strategy is to become the apprentice that your mentor would want to have.
