Would anonymous mentorship advice (non-interview format) be useful?

WSO has a great mock interview service that I used back in the day to get a job. But here's a question for the new generation of WSO: do you feel that you would benefit from an anonymous mentorship service for people in the financial services industry that isn't just a mock interview? That is, would you be interested in being able to chat on the phone (for a price) with S&T analysts, associates, and beyond for purposes of objective advice and encouragement without having to rely on your S&T social circle (which might not exist for you, depending upon your alma mater)? (I'm not selling anything, I'm just asking if it would be at all useful for you if this existed :)

Alternatively, would it interest people who are already in the industry to be able to offer out advice (anonymously and for a fee) about what life is like on the other side (in your asset class, at your type of firm, etc)?
