“Throughout the modern history of architecture, there has existed the noble if naive perception that the best design came from artists whose practice remained untouched by the imperatives of business or finance."
-- Javier Quintana de Ua, dean of IE School of Architecture (Source)
There is a saying that goes like this: it is not what you know, or even who you know. It's how well you know them and how well they know you that really counts - quite true if you wish to stand out among the rest and be successful in any entrepreneurship endeavors.
Morris Lapidus, the late American architect who had designed more than 1200 throughout his architectural career could not have agreed more. If you don't feel like working your ass off for a shitty fees just to meet your ends meet, then go hang around with some rich tycoons hoping that their daughter might be attracted to you. That would definitely catapult your career faster and help you reach the ivy league sooner.
Oh by the way, don't expect this to be taught at IE School of Architecture, known to offer the World's first business of architecture degree.
