Ever get random chat requests that continue over months?

[alkemyst]

This guy on FB from India messages me one day for CCNA certification advice, and he keeps randomly asking things, usually redundantly.

Here is the capture, it's probably someone from AT:

You can hire a Sherpa

Hurka: I think you drunk !!!

I worked 30 hours so far straight.
You took this long to get a CCNA?

Hurka: Yeh.....

If you are serious, pick the CCNP track you want. Read the books and take the tests down after you have done some labs.
CCNA should be a 3 month journey. CCNP about 6 months.
CCIE 18-24 months.
That's dedicated time
no experience.

Hurka: Are you preparing ccie

soon. I am renewing my CCNP. I have two other CCNAs
plus other certs now

Hurka: But you have advantage
Hurka: Your doing job as well getting experience

I started this without my job.

Hurka: But you have job now

I was working hard...my salary sucked at the time and I wasn't making my ends meet. I sacrificed and bought books, studied and took tests.

I still haven't hit the salary I want, but I am going to keep on trying to be better at this craft.
I don't know if you are a troll or just challenged.

Read the books. Put pages on your phone, read to yourself on an iPod, make notes. Immerse yourself. Do that and it doesn't matter what you are doing now...you are doing tomorrow today.

Hurka: I salute your dedication man !!! Your really hard worker.
Hurka: I tell my self I got Job in India. But my salary was very much low. I could not survive at all. In end I left my job came back at home. Now feeling sooo much bad. So that
Hurka: I'm thinking the man he should be ccie to get sufficient salary package.

Maybe move then.
I don't hate on India, but it's a hard place to make a niche.
Get a legitimate CCIE and you will not be unemployed. Get 2 or more and can speak to the technology; profit.

I kept getting a hangout request by some random "Lydia Marroquin" or something, she kept asking if I was on my way or not, so I eventually just blocked her.
