Should I get a degree in classics?

Hi, im currently a high school student passionate about latin (with national olympiad awards and other competitions) and I dont know if i should pursue classics. Its the only domain im even remotely interested in besides maybe philosophy. My parents want me to get a business or marketing degree but those seem boring to me and could only land me corporate jobs in the future. I dont want to do academia in the future, and ive noticed that the job market for classics teachers is pretty bad, but ive heard that classics graduates are sought after in other domains. Can you get a job outside of the field if you have a classics degree? Do you need to go to certain prestigious universities for that? (In Europe)
