Yeeeah. She was my ed con, too.
After about a year at HLA, my parents actually took me to see her (for the first time) and had me tell her what was going on and why I was miserable. She said she was shocked, and admitted that she sends so many to HLA because HLA gives her "incentives" to refer clients to them. She apologized, and my parents yanked me out soon thereafter, but it seems she hardly got out of the game.
It's just like working retail at the mall, seriously. You aren't in it for the minimum wage per hour, you're in it because you can make so much scratch convincing people they need things they can't afford. Except Martha Kolbe collects commission on CHILDREN, not handbags.
