in reply to Who mentored you and how?

Main Entry: 1men·tor
Pronunciation: 'men-"tor, -t&r
Function: noun Etymology: Latin, from Greek MentOr
1 capitalized : a friend of Odysseus entrusted with the education of Odysseus' son Telemachus
2 a : a trusted counselor or guide
   b : TUTOR, COACH - men·tor·ship /-"ship/ noun

I feel that the entire world mentored me. I have only a GED, yet today my employment is as a senior technical analyst creating perl objects and scripts to manipulate the database or it's information.

If you would like to pass along some information to your friend, that is nice. I think though as an independent consultant it would benefit her much more to post to the monastery herself.

If she really wants a mentor a local "running your own business" class would be extrememly helpful. As would a subscription to Contract Professional magazine. What ever her specialty is, I am sure that she has some local user groups available to her.

I was mentored by every teacher from the school of hard knocks. The quote I try to remember most often is from Illusions by Richard Bach, "There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in it's hands. We seek out problems because we need their gifts."
