If you think nobody cares how you got that job, but rather just that you got it, you're wrong.
People will respect the person who created his business himself from the ground up far more than the person who simply took over his father's business, and hence, got lucky because he 'knew' someone.
Sure, the money might be the same at the end of the day, but the respect factor will not be, and the person starting from scratch will probably feel a lot better about themselves and their accomplishments than the guy who simply took over dad's business...

+1 to what Ulic said. Is this the kind of rationale that people think of to make themselves feel better when they don't have any connections? and they think they can't compete as successfully as the next guy? If I have them, I am damn well using them. Why the fuck would I care what you or anyone thinks? more respect because I did it completely on my own? LOLOL please. Nothing more than feel good stories to reaffirm the ideal of the American dream.
There are people who just receive inheritance and do fuck all. There are also those that go and do something with it.
