1. If you could have the undivided attention of the best in your field, which questions would you ask of him or her?
2. How do you want the answers to assist you in your career goals?
Background: I'm working on establishing a mentor network for my own professional development. A career counselor has helped me identify a collection of outstanding performers in my field, who could be potential mentors around the country and in my industry. My next step is to begin contacting them, and these are the questions he suggested that I ask myself to prepare. So I'm curious how everyone else would answer these. Maybe I'll think of something I hadn't thought of already.

"What do you like/dislike about the profession that you've chosen?" "What type of personality is best suited for the profession?" "What would the expected starting salary be?" "Would there be a necessity for me to continue education? - and to what level?" (All of the questions that I didn't think to ask before I was a senior in college!)
