Networks are correlated with success, or at least that was one of the messages I got from reading Outliers (I could be wrong). As for the 4-yr university degree, it's always been more about discipline than anything else. A completed degree is as you say - a signal for discipline - which is probably why more and more employers are caring less about the exact type of degree, and more about whether it was "quantitative".
