Unless you can pay for the professional degree without taking on huge debt I don't know if it's worth it if you're only planning on being in that field for a few years before applying for a PhD. If you're paying back your loan for for the next four years it is going to make it to go to grad school immediately when you think you're ready.
It sounds like a good plan, but I just don't know if an expensive professional degree is 100% needed. I'd apply for some government/NGO/whatever jobs right now and keep the option open for still applying for a MPP or whatever in the winter. If you can get a decent (even if low paying) job in the field you want now that I wouldn't bother pursuing the extra degree.
But that's me.
