No regrets here
I'm a graduate from 2005 and have been very happy -- no regets here.
I wish you luck in your future endeavors. :)
No regrets at all (sm)
When my first child was born, I went back to work after maternity leave and HATED it ... I cried when I had to take him to daycare (even though the daycare he went to was a rarity ... outstanding, clean, wonderful caregivers and I had absolutely no concerns for his safety or well being). When he went to preschool, I went down to part time so I only worked the hours he was there and when he went to kindergarten, I got an at-home job and have been home ever since. (He's in college and my other one is in high school).
I MIGHT go out to work when my last one graduates but I have no regrets being home for them while they were in school ... if they forgot something, needed to come home or even being here when they got home from school so they weren't "latchkey kids".
Hope that helps!
I graduated CS and do have regrets
The reasons are the same as you have read elsewhere. There are no instructors, but rather an impersonal "grader" that you aren't quite sure you can trust since what might be right one time is wrong the next. There are errors in the material that can make you end up looking like a fool. I had nitroglycerine in my spell check on word for a year before I realized I had added it from a cut and paste report taken out of FOMS and was incorrect. Of course, that is only one example of many. I could go on and on, but I won't. All in all, it is inferior, and I wish I had gone to M-Tec or Andrews so that I could have started out excellently instead of clawing my way there of my own volition.
No regrets whatsoever
I was tickled pink to leave the office and come home to work! I would not trade my job for 10 office jobs. My main problem is that my relatives do not realize that I can't drop my work to go pay a bill or run to an appointment with them/for them. As far as the lack of socialization - I am out when I want to be. I do spend some days in my PJs, and really don't see the need to change that. I get out to do things with my son, such as movies or lunch. I meet friends for lunch. I have a playdate scheduled with about 10 other moms for us to have a picnic and let the kids play at a local park with a pool. You make an effort to get yourself out when you work at home. It is as much a necessity as breathing, for me. I think the benefits of being home outweigh the drawbacks, big time.
Yes, I love it and have no regrets. The positives
far outweigh the negatives, and my kids are now MTing as well and loving it. I can honestly say at approx 50 years old that I would not have changed a thing. I worked in-house til my kids were born, and have been home since. In-house was great experience, and then transitioning to home was wonderful! :-) Feel free to write if you are interested in any details. I obviously believe 100% that there is a future for MTing, or would not have trained my children. I love my job and my career. 
Career Step...Regrets?
Anyone go through the Career Step course and then regret it?
Took me 18 years. No regrets, no nylons, no dresses :)
No regrets here. High scores, great job.
