Ask HN: How to ask for an infosec mentor

Having been a programmer for around 26 years now. I recently had an illness which also affected my memory and other mental faculties, to the point I cannot concentrate well enough or hold information long enough to be useful as a programmer.

What I would like to do is go back to my first love, that of reverse engineering. I have been advised to undertake a path or relearning, especially with something that I have loved for many years, but have not had the time to work at.

All this to ask, how would I go about asking for or even finding a mentor that would help me work towards finding a new career path in virus/malware reverse engineering/analysis?

If you have read this far thank you, if not thank you anyway for being interested enough to want to help others.
