I would guess he didn't want to pay the high price of quality workers.

  I rather guess that he wanted high quality at bargain rates. The ones without 5 stars are harder to find, but clearly exist, and are willing to give a discount so they can establish a rep.

    Regarding why I went for anything but 5 stars, yes, it is true my expectation was that a novice would not expect to command the wage paid to someone with experience. I also believe that some reflection on errors and examining how to avoid those errors in the future is an important part of my job. I would not rate myself 5 stars, would you? 5 stars might reflect a desire to only try safe things that can be accomplished with excellent results. On the internet development is fast, there are no experts in a technology that was only available yesterday so I was interested in people willing to try something new, risk to fail. Regarding the rates, a job is a job, as I stated, this is a wage that I have worked for in the past, and probably will in the future, for me work is not entirely about the money, I seek satisfaction, for me that has a high value. I pay around $12 per hour, or about £8.20 which is a fair bit more than minimum wage is here in the UK (£5.80 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older a development rate of £4.83 per hour for workers aged 18-21 inclusive).
