Thank you Kelly!

But as long as there are people willing to prostitute themselves for next to nothing, this problem will not go away. 
Professional Devs suffer as well as disappointed clients.

I have to ask - when people post "jobs" like this - how on earth do people think developers can make a living doing 6 weeks of work for $1,000? This project is not an upgrade. It's a complete rebuild and migration with complete re-themeing involved. There is no discussion about this. Read the upgrade recommendations docs on Drupal.org. Even 6->7 is most often a rebuild.

And those people dont exist, so I wouldn't be too optimistic on this front. Or you can wait long enough for someone to donate their spare time and take 6-8 months to build it - a big fan or supporter. And none of these are a guarantee of quality.

For every client who secretly thinks this is true (and hires a student, or takes the job to India, or whatever), it takes them living through a complete disaster to realize that cheap = suck. Period.
