While completing a test given by a potential employer, I noticed they talked a lot about mentors. “If you were stuck would you turn to A. Friends, B. Supervisor, C. Mentor, D. Just work it out yourself”.

I used to lament my lack of having a mentor. Then I realized I have one, just a terrible one. He holds few values in common with me, is generally stuck in the past, and generally disrespects education. I didn’t choose this mentor, it just kind of happened. You probably have a mentor and it might not be the best choice.
