"You're too good for us"

I applied for a job as a traveling network tech. The job pays better than most in this region and includes decent benefits as well.
I was quite surprised to read this today:
"I sent your resume to my boss and he said you are over qualified. We are
looking for 0-2 years experience and want someone to stay for the long hall.
This would not be challenging enough for you. Unfortunately, we have no
other openings right now."
Meanwhile, other companies want cert-mill or degreed applicants with 3-5 years experience. They also seem to think 30k is acceptable salary... So how is it that this company wants to pay $45k for a newb!?!?!?!?!?
