The very nature of being an "entrepreneur" is that you're often more self-directed, self-taught, and self-motivated than others. Many entrepreneurs have no college experience; some haven't even graduated high school.
The question is - what do you want to do with your entrepreneurial spirit? For example, if you want to be a medical entrepreneur, some medical training and experience in the field will help.
In any case, if you want to create your own business, learn marketing and sales - and the best training can't be found in books. For example: use your customer's language not yours, find products people are already looking for (instead of creating what you think people will want), and always test your market (are you getting results?) before you spend time or money to scale your business up.
There is no specific education requirement to become an entrepreneur. You will simply need to be creative, organized, resourceful, disciplined, dedicated, insightful, knowledgeable about what you plan on starting your business about.
The more you know the easier it is to identify the angle or marketing of your service or product. What you lack in talent, experience, skills you will need to bring others on board who have it.
To be an entrepreneur, you pay attention to what others need and figure out a way to provide it. If what you are offering is currently not offered you may have a gold mine. If you want to provide something that already exists, you need to make your offering much better than your competition, if you don't see how to make it better, there is no point duplicating.
Entrepreneurs use common sense, critical thinking, creativity more than academics in many cases. Formal education isn't directly required but it will help you to bring to the table the things necessary to be successful unless you have absorb the information you need through other sources such as life experience including but not limited to work in a related capacity
These are the qualifications needed to be an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs tend to be independent thinkers and self-reliant and self-confident. They also need to know how to cut costs, manage staff and increase productivity. An entrepreneur also are socially aware.
Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle, not a career. Since you're working for yourself you can have whatever degree you want. That being said, a degree will give you the knowledge of the industry you choose to start a business in.
