I imagine there are tons of people with masters degrees that move here for a couple of years to work for nonprofits or the govt or whatever... then go on to earn $$$$.

Having recently been in the job market, many fed jobs require a specific number of years doing XYZ. So the nonprofits are a good stepping stone to get the required experience and then move on to a fed job with more security.

This was my experience at a nonprofit. I'm in IT but was surprised at first when I heard that our policy interns had master's degrees. They make connections and go on to more prestigious positions.
