I’ve some advice. Never, ever take the words of a mentor as being your only source of information. Sure they are providing an input but that still needs to go through a decision making process because ultimately it’s you who will make the decision and you who will wear the consequences. The mentor should be clear and upfront about this.

A good mentor should be able to assist you with pros and cons of various decisions. They should be supportive of you whichever way you choose to go, but the decision is yours and not everything a mentor says is a ‘good idea’ is a good idea. It is very, very rare for me as a mentor to say ‘I think you should do XYZ’ and I’d certainly never say it in terms of a ‘jet orientation’ course.
