Is there anyone or anywhere you go to consistently for career advice (besides WSO obviously)?

As someone at the start of my career, I feel like I have so many questions about the financial industry, what path I should take, etc., but there really isn't a place to go or a person to go to with good answers.  I can obviously come on to WSO to look for info or ask a question, but even then there's no guarantee that someone will even answer something I post.

Is the only solution to just keep posting every question I have or do people have some kind of mentor/other location where they consistently go for more reliable info?
