Well, IMHO, that is an absurd comment. Learning without an end to it ... without any scope and target is nothing. Learning is only good if it helps you achieve a goal and what goal it could be besides earning. However, if there remains a flaw in your learning and in the live field when you don't prove your learning to be of any use it is then when a noob decides that the learning era was better than the earning era which actually proves to be a losing era.
