Nonprofit doesn’t mean no pay for employees. Many top exec at large non profits are compensated well. Think about it logically, they need talent too.

True that, thanks. I didn't specify but I meant starting your own nonprofit...:)

A lot of them use the already “lost” opportunity cost of not working to begin developing their non-profit / start up while in school. Others just tough it out if it’s really what they want.
