You are wrong and right.

First of all, college is just as much about the education as the networking. I didn't realize/know that the first time through, I just put my head down and did the work and didn't care at all about the professors.

The second time through, I made sure to know the professors, ask questions, put effort into my assignments, and ensure I had someone who I could use as a reference in the future. It has paid off more than once.

After some time, you'll find some professors are actually passionate about their work and keep in touch with the industry they are involved in - and you can get job leads through them. Some professors don't care and are just professional instructors with no involvement in the industry.
