 Given the cycles of economic and labor-market volatility, the last gasp of job security, and the growing number of baby boomers who prefer not to quietly retire, entrepreneurialism is becoming an attractive choice for many corporate refugees. In this Online Special Report, we take a look at why so many people are beginning their second acts by starting their own businesses.
 Included are three slide shows that offer success stories among three different groups: folks who've been downsized, retirees, and women. Find out how they did it, and what advice they have for others. Another online story examines what it's like to use a B-school degree to launch a career as an entrepreneur. We've even included and interactive quiz to see if you're ready to go solo. You'll find all these and more online at www.businessweek.com/go/secondacts
