I currently don't have access to a good mentor in the company or town I work in.
Do you have any tips on where I might find a remote mentor who can give me advice on my career?
It would help if you could tell us a little more about what kind of software development you are interested in. It's a very wide field - what I do, writing code for embedded devices, is not all that helpful for people writing web applications (except maybe as far as striving to embody general software engineering best practices).
