When it comes to finding a mentor, the most effective mentors are 3-5 years ahead of you in the workplace. Every time I walk down that path a few feet, I regret it. I was wondering if there were any ways you knew of online to find a mentor. Great post on a career advice! Less experience often means better advice.

What is the key to this career path? The right career path comes from that. The right career path comes from that." And, good luck with the move back home. Question 2: How do I become an evangelist? Is the most important thing to getting a good network? Do I need to first become an expert?

It’s the best way to have a meaningful conversation and it’s the best way to rope in a mentor or look like a star performer. Think of your career path as a question path. The first one is a billboard I saw as soon as I got off the plane: A good question is the new answer. That rings true to me.

I'd like to add one idea from a mentor of mine, who led big organizations in both sectors. I work for a non-profit in my chosen career path & although I know I'm doing a lot of good I can't help but feel like it would be easier to call it quits and take up a job at the local grocery store so I can have insurance.

Stay away from career paths with an end game of getting power or being famous. Because those careers are largely unfulfilling. We can also use this list to reaffirm stuff we already know but choose to ignore: 1. The goal of having regular sex is fulfilling.

For some reason, your voice seems to get through to her much better and smoother than mine on topics like frugality etc. : ) She totally looks up to you as a mentor! Personally, I am looking at professional programs in economics because I have found this to be essential for my career path. For me, and for my girlfriend!
