im torn between a ba in classics or doing mbbs, i love the idea of both but maybe classics a tad bit more, however im not sure about what job prospects there are for classics graduates, if anyone has any knowledge it would be greatly appreciated. all the research i have done has just been giving me general b.a career outcomes not classics in particular
cheers

A classics degree encompasses both Latin and Ancient Greek(you must study both languages) as well as the history behind these languages.  Considering you do neither of these languages, nor any other languages and don't have any literary and analytically textual based subjects, you would probably be the sort of person who dislikes classics or find it boring.

It is quite an interesting toss up-medicine and classics-but i think the fact that you are even doing english language rather than english shows that you are a much more science based person and would probably flourish in health more.

As for jobs for classics:
-research
-teaching
-most classicists go into post graduate studies such as law, politics, diplomacy etc...the skills are so widely transferable.
