Leaving law after articling

Looking to see if anyones had a similar experience, or any advice you may have. Has anyones articling experience made them decide to pursue another career? What did you end up going into? Do you have any regrets?

Im wrapping up articling in may where they dont do hirebacks. Never received any positive feedback, never receive clear instructions and then im told him doing it all wrong when i try. I am basically just set out to fail. If i ask questions i am either ignored or belittled. If my principlal makes any mistake i am made as the scapegoat.

I feel ill prepared to start my career as a lawyer because ive never been told when i am doing something right. And now im having to look for an associate job after the 10 worst months of my life where i made 0 connections nor received any advice from my principal on navigating the job market. I feel like my career is over before its even started and i am now considering going back to school and basically just starting over again.
