I've been working in film offices from time to time for about 2 years now and I know that if you get to know the right people, they will read your script. If they like it and like you, they will either tell you what to do to fix it up, or they will pass it on to someone else who will. Of course, there are 15 more stages of re-writes and whatnot, and who knows how many people will muscle you out of the creative process, but it's possible.
At one point I thought to myself, "I'm going to have to write something really shitty to make some asshole happy so I can make something I really like later." But I recently scratched that idea and I'm just going to keep working and networking and continue to talk myself up until someone wants to read something of mine. Then who knows.
You will also have to ask yourself the question of, "Would I rather have my name on this script as a writer and $20,000, or would I rather sell it to someone else, have my name removed from everything, and make $50,000."
