Higher education is obviously helpful for entrepreneurship since it provides the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed. However, it requires a lot of education and research to gain that knowledge and after completing your education, the hardest part is putting that knowledge into practice. I suggest attending as many interesting seminars or meetings related to entrepreneurship to gain more knowledge and insights. Then, you can start your own small business and see if it works using the knowledge and skills you have acquired.

Statistically, 95% of entrepreneurs have a bachelor's degree or higher and I wonder, for those of you who are involved in entrepreneurship, how useful was higher education for you?
This is normal and obvious because being a successful entrepreneur requires a sharp and clear mind as well as the ability to communicate with people and implement effective plans. In fact, education is essential and I have never heard of a successful entrepreneur who wasn't educated.
Yes, PR is important and the advantages in having higher education is you are more confident communicating.
You have the right skills to promote and sell your product or services as you have that knowledge
or better to say a communicative skill that can bring the attentions of your target venue to earn the
trust and interest, listening to what you are promoting.
Not all needs higher education and that's no secret at all, there are people who can be successful by
doing extra efforts to learn the right process.
