Are You Looking For A Mentor?

[Adam Bartomeo]

Over the years, I have seen sooo many posts about people wanting mentors. These folks are so hungry for hands on education that they are willing to do almost anything to gain the knowledge. I recently read a thread where someone was looking to pay to be mentored. There were a lot of posts requesting the same thing and there were even more posts of people that had paid mentors but were taken advantage of. 

What are your thoughts about having a local mentorship program or having an apprenticeship program?
