I'm pretty sure those days are long gone forever. But, the easy money days are part of the reason for a number of the recent program closures. When these programs started, making money was easy right out of the gate. They didn't have to be business savvy and lean & mean to get a foothold and survive the first year or two like most other kinds of business. That easy money led to bad habits, excesses and deficiencies never being properly corrected, or even worse, short cuts like pre-checked cross sales being used to prop up dwindling profits.
Live and learn... or maybe not...
