Does your degree help with selling the product at all or does it not help?

I studied Human Resources. I now sell employee insurance to businesses.
Surprisingly it helps a little, I took courses on compensation and labour relations and often (unfortunately) have to sell to HR employees so it helps I can speak their language and understand what some of their goals/concerns could be.

I have a BBA and I don't think it directly helps with my actual sales. It mostly helped with getting a job since the place I work at requires at least a bachelor's degree to be hired. Also, the diploma looks dope hanging on the wall of my home office...if I could go back in time though, I would either not get the diploma or go the other way and study longer (get an MBA or a masters).
I studied Management of information systems and political science. I then worked for 1 of the big 4 companies as a digital trust consultant/auditor moved to a local consulting firm realized I didn't like management consulting. Had an opportunity that promised travel and fame, took it been tree years now.
Marketing and Biology + MBA. And now doing outbound prospecting for SaaS Founders expanding in US market
I studied philosophy. It's all about asking questions you never get a straight answer to, so maybe it helps with sales in general. But I don't know that there's anything I can sell that would be directly benefit from a philosophy degree, besides a course on philosophy.
I have a grade 8 Education on paper (10 high school credits). I worked for way too many years in kitchens and doing manual labor before sales found me. My income has been over 100k since my second year selling.
