Does anyone regret it?

Sanantone, I'm in agreement with you except for one thing. Even if parents have done their research, there is still a high chance they are wrong, particularly if they are of the controlling type. They can't know what's best for their children who have turned into adults, not clones. Like your post, this isn't directed at the original poster.

That is true. There are parents who pressure their children to study a STEM field, accounting/finance, to complete the pre-med sequence, or various other things. The child may not have the aptitude for the field and/or may not have an interest in the field. This happens with parents sending their kids to traditional schools. So, there are controlling parents among homeschoolers and non-homeschoolers, but the reason for controlling their children might be different.

A lot of families involved with CollegePlus and the Verity Institute are part of the Quiverfull movement. I know there was at least one student here who said she didn't plan to do anything with her degree other than to be better prepared to teacher her own children when she has them. She was not to leave her father's home until she was married. After that, she would be a housewife. A couple of other students said that their parents wanted to have control of their education because they wanted them to learn things from the Christian worldview. They believe that colleges are indoctrinating young people with liberal ideologies.
