Abstract: We demonstrate four models in prediction of the dependencies between entrepreneurs’ education, developmental intentions and perception of quality of life based on survey data (2012, n=460). Entrepreneurs with the higher level of education were more likely to maintain the current production line, plan pluriactive businesses and consider wage income and cooperation more important than others. Similarly, entrepreneurs with lower level of education experienced more often problems to cope with current and future farm work with existing resources. To conclude, spouses’ education seems to influence farm’s choices and quality of life. Implications for human capital theory and entrepreneurship education emerged.
