Subject: Mentoring Thread: Watch this Space


> Starting tomorrow, I will be unfurling the first of

> If you are disinterested in this thread, here is your

> subject line:  MENTOR ME!
>
> For the seasoned professionals on list this is your
> chance to leave a legacy, make a mark on society, and
> ensure you have (at least here in the States) the best
> damned investment you can in your Social Security by
> taking under your wing one of these bright up and
> comings and acting as their guide.
>
> I know YOU'RE busy.  I can't imagine they will have so
> many demands on your time to cause your own work to
> implode.  They need someone they can ask the subtle
> nuances of.  They need someone who can teach them some
> of the things you had to learn the hard way.  They
> need someone who is a fountain of knowledge in their
> area of discipline and who can give them insights and
> history with respect to their profession.
>
> They also need someone who can guide them to the right
> connections.  At some point in time, they make ask
> something you don't have an answer for, but you may be
> able to connect them to someone that does.
>
> Think about this as a de facto adoption without the
> child support (LOL)!
>
> These are not children.  They are young and youngish
> museum professionals, the future of the industry that
> will carry the torch for us long after we're gone.
> Wouldn't you want to impart some of the joy you have
> about the industry to someone like that?  By the same
> token, don't you wish you could sometimes say, "Lord,
> Child, if you only knew!"
>
> Please don't let them down!!!
>
> Their profiles will come out of a period of time, and
> I am hoping not one of these bright and talented young
> people is left without someone to whom they can turn.
>
> And if all else fails (LOL) I'm REALLY good at
> drafting my friends.  Look out!
