I have a 9 month non-compete.. should I just go get a masters?

I don't really like sitting on my hands, and I feel like if I have a 9-month paid non-compete, I should just go back and get a master's. If my firm doesn't want to to enforce the non-compete because I'd be enrolling in a masters program, I'm just going to accept the offer from the competitor so in my eyes I'm getting paid to go get a masters or do nothing for 9 months right?
