I won't downgrade the importance of formal education. But yes, networking is a big asset and it can enhance yout personal and professional growth. Formal education with strong networking is always a boon, both compliment each other. Moreover, your educational institution can be a great place to make good networking that would help later. Institutions with strong alumini connection are always a good place to start networking.
