Government can be slow in paying up, but they do pay, and when they do it's usually several times more than you would have gotten for the same work from a small private company.
Plus, once you've established yourself in that sector, work from overpaying orgs in that sector will keep rolling in at a steady pace. Once you get the NGOs and lobby groups as well, it's all gravy.
