Might I suggest a bit of out-of-the-cubicle thinking. A strategic investment strategy could provide income to supplement a paycheck.

Consider taking personal and corporate finance classes along with your other electives. One of the skills every college graduate should have is how to read quarterly and annual financial statments for public companies.

Also, don't underestimate how much industry knowledge you'll be acquiring as an architect which can be leveraged as part of an investment strategy. For example, knowing a city's detail plans for urban renewal may give you some ideas on REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) investments.
