Right. I think a lot of people confuse having a network with "NETWORKING" (i.e. going to networking events, asking to have a coffee with one of the hundreds of thousands of people who went to your undergrad but you've never met, etc.). The former is useful; the latter mostly not so. Especially given that during a less-good market like we have now, a networking event is going to be filled with semi-desparate people all looking for jobs.
