Hi Anu,
Business done creatively or not is still business. If your slant is creative, then do it. Make something happen creatively and business will follow. Keep doing it.
If you're asking what can you do professionally after a B. Arch degree, that's a different question. You can work for an architect and be an architect under another architect's license without any trouble. It happens all the time in the U.S. in fact. Once you get into a firm, you can advance fairly far without having a professional degree and license.
It's only to become Associate or Partner in the firm that you would need your own license and thus a higher degree.
