Yes and No
Sure you can go far with more doors opening up for you … but if you know little to nothing then you are screwed and being liked matters little lol
You can do both at the same time
True, I meant being good enough
Stark and LLR
While not updated just yet … Stark still boasts an awesome amount of fame and social scripting turning you into the center of attention and bringing people into your orbit
Then use LLR to learn stuff… watch pro welders and read books on welding
Or do what a high amount of people on the site do and make a custom that is tailored to your needs or wants
Im very curious about C&C since @SaintSovereign mentioned a new ZPU Adaptive scripting that meets at your level and pushes you from there.
While I have always felt that with even OG ZP I feel like this new scripting is going to be groundbreaking to the point I believe there might be an Adaptive Scripting Experimental module for customs

It’s a good stack to start with, run for quite some time. But with C&C’s goals, once you start getting further along, you’ll most likely want to switch to something more targeted toward the wealth goals. Stack rotation will work well with C&C, due to the adaptive scripting.
Those mentioning RAIKOV are correct. That is the title I would run to learn the skills. This is a potentially high income industry, but salary here is based upon skills, experience and ability. It’s one of those crafts where the skill of the individual is readily apparent, and at least here in the United States, welders REALLY take pride in their work.
So, while it may be nice to get the “other goodies,” if you truly want to create a career foundation with subs in the welding industry, you should consider forgetting the “other goodies” for now and dedicating yourself to craft. That means any of the mastery themed titles. The HEROs. RAIKOV. Learning titles. Go ahead and toss WDB in there, since it will assist a lot with “the other goodies,” as well as helping you network.
Or, use BRO or OG Inner Circle in a stack with something like RAIKOV instead to help you generate a social circle that will help you propel your career forward. Use BRO if you want those individuals to be close friends, IC if you’re open to professional mentorship and colleagues only.
This is one of those situations where you have to ask yourself what matters the most. We all want the goodies, we all have fun with them. But, from my perspective – and ultimately it’s up to you – I would recommend focusing hard on the craft and achieving a certain level of mastery. Once that’s taken care of, have as much fun as you want with the goodies, because now your foundation is solid.
@SaintSovereign so sorry to bug you, but is it possible you can check and respond to a DM I sent you, as it concerns customs which I’m wanting to buy pretty soon! 
Haha… I love it when you do that…
Incoming! 
Woohoo! I am right!
The old Official ZP Listening Instructions is now obsolete ?
What if one can tolerate the Recon and sees the plus in full Loops ?
The end goal of micro loops is to build towards full loops, since most can’t handle full loops right away.
If you can, good 

I think it’s new, a bit higher in the conversation I asked the question about that, but I didn’t get an answer which led me to believe it’s going to be a surprise.
Today is the day 
His Smiley face reply to me was all we needed haha
This man is drip feeding us.
The new instructions are to help guide in the listening pattern needed for the upcoming Zero Point Union tech when it’s done. It’s going to be much more powerful, starting with Emperor: C&C. The old pattern isn’t advised. Last year was all research. This year, we’re moving ahead at a rapid pace.
How far is CC?
We are dying over here
This makes sense considering the plans for ZPQ to replace ZP Standard. The feel’s completely different. Need to start slow.
