Is law worth it?

I’m applying for a law degree at some of the top 20 universities. I don’t know what career I want but I’m not interested in becoming a solicitor or a barrister, but I want a degree that is valued and I only take humanities so STEM is out of the question plus I’m bad at it. So is it worth me doing a law degree/will I have better job prospects than if I was to do for example history or English?
Also I like the idea of maybe doing a masters in something like accountancy or finance since I can’t do a bachelors because of my GCSEs and A levels
Law degrees have a lot of transferable skills which many employers value, and statistics show that law degree graduates make a lot more than English graduates. Nevertheless, make sure you chose a degree that your genuinely interested in and one you can see yourself doing well in. If you think you’re more likely to enjoy English or history, then do that, especially if you’re not sure exactly what type of job you’d like to have.
