Mentor? I used to want a mentor so badly but everywhere I went I found myself in the position of being the resident "expert" in what I was doing at the time. Meaning really that I was a one man shop with noone to turn to when I got stuck.

I think that has been good and bad. The good is that I am very independent in my thinking when it comes to solving a problem. The bad part is that I could have saved myself a whole lot of grief over the years if I had someone to turn to in order to bounce ideas off of them.

I had a mentor once in my career. He was more of a mentor, however, in the realm of how to deal with corporate politics than in technical stuff though he was brilliant technically.
