I will echo every other mentor's comments -- it gets much more difficult to mentor as you get older. When I was a student, I wanted to meet every possible minute of every day. As an adult, you have to balance many other commitments. As others have said, the best way to make your mentors stick around is A) get more mentors & B) use every minute you've got productively.
