I was wondering about a potential networking opportunity..?

This may come off as kind of naive, as I'm just a college student and I don't know a lot about the industry.

Anyways, I have a cousin who started a successful hedge fund after trading for years. I know that he's retired now and has been for about five years; he isn't involved in finance anymore. So do you think networking with him be kind of futile, since he no longer works in finance? I figured he could potentially help me get an interview if he knows someone else I could speak to.

Any advice?
