When Ray DeRosa graduated from Temple's Fox School of Business this past May he didn’t send hundreds of resumes out in hopes of securing a job — he created one. Rachel Brown, director of Temple's Career Center, says DeRosa is not alone. "Self-employment — entrepreneurship — registered on the radar screen as one of the top three types of employment" in Temple’s most recent survey of graduating students, Brown said. "If you believe what you read, you’re going to lose at least three jobs over the course of your lifetime," said Jaine Lucas, executive director of Temple’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute. "This is a life skill. It’s like learning to swim. You’ve got to be able to keep your head above water if the unexpected or the worst happens."
