A good mentor would have accomplished the same goal at much less cost to me.

Let's say you did not go to college and had no diploma but had a good mentor ( I'm trying to understand what you mean by this ). How would you have gotten your first job ? How would the hiring manager of your first job know how good your mentor is ?

I have owned my own company for many years. I can tell how good somebody is within ten minutes in an interview.

I don't really care who taught them - as long as they have good character, are a hard worker, possess the necessary skills, and have a deep desire to make my company a profit.

A mentor is someone who is a professional in their field and brings apprentice(s) alongside to teach under their watchful eye.

I'm currently mentoring three young men myself.
