I agree with @vicstric that I have seen others and received work from others that are supposed to be professionals but their work is even below my novice standards.

I truly believe that some people have never learned or been taught to care about their reputation. It always comes down to how much money that they can make off of someone else. Yes, making a profit is important but delivering great, consistent work is just as or maybe even more important.
