This paper discusses what the education-happiness link is like between Spanish entrepreneurs. The study is conducted from a survey by the Sociological Research Center with a total of three hundred and fifty-five valid responses. Six educational levels are considered as groupsand are associated with seven categories in which each person's consideration of happiness is divided. A categorical data analysis is performed from the balanced worth vector (BWV), obtaining an ordering of educational levels based on their consideration of happiness. The conclusion reached is that this ordination obtained coincides with a ordination by educational levels, being those who have completed university studies who have the greatest consideration of their own happiness, and those entrepreneurs who only exceeded primary education those who have a worse consideration of their own happiness. For the rest of the educational levels, the ordering is maintained. This education-happiness relationship remains an open question to this day,as well as knowing the kind of effect that education has on the happiness of the labour market population, which opens up the need for new empirical studies on this topic.
