Well, it's not as if I can give an unbiased judgement about whether it's an unbiased judgement or not. I just don't think it's really a very good idea for a variety of reasons outlined above. The problem I'm having is I don't have enough experience in what he's thinking about doing to judge it against doing nothing. I might be completely wrong and it might be a great thing for him to do, but there's no way for me to know if that's the case. Am I making any sense?
>Btw, do you realize that you sound kind of disdainful when you talk about him...? You cant really be friends AND a "mentor/ role model".
Yeah, what >>4 said. I don't "set myself up to be better" than him, if I had some sort of superiority complex I wouldn't even bother to involve myself in any of this.
