I consider self-study to be a key part of entrepreneurship. In particular, extended self-study has worked very well for me whenever I've wanted to change careers, geographies or industries. Indeed a major professional change justifies this effort.
However, given the current pace of technology, it might be a better idea to develop a discipline for continuous learning and try to fit your educational/updating needs into a conventional agenda.
As far as "not earning" goes, granted, it sucks, but consider the option of doing this while freelancing, writing a book or starting a new company... there are many, many ways to skin a cat.
