Is classics worth it or should I do psychology?

I’ve been stuck between these two options for a while now, my head says do psychology since there’s lots of postgrad options and even if I didn’t want to do them, I could go on to do primary teaching after a year. However I keep getting swayed by classics, I know I like it more than psych but i keep doubting if it’s really worth doing it bc the careers seem so limited. My top uni choice is Glasgow so I know I could probably study both in first and second year and choose to transfer later, but I need to choose 1 for my application and for other unis if I wasn’t to get into Glasgow. Any advice?

I'm pretty sure glasgow does a joint honours In psychology and classics maybe you could check that out

Careers in Classics are no more limited than those in Psychology. The majority of Classics graduates don’t become Classicists and nor do the majority of Psychology grads become Psychologists.
Classics grads go into everything from law to finance, publishing, civil service, journalism, business, marketing, and the charity sector and even work for technology companies as well as more obvious things like jobs in the heritage sector or teaching.
Do the degree you like more. You will do better as well as enjoying it more.

Do you know if there’s much you can do with no masters/post grad study for either degree? I’m possibly willing to do postgrad but I do want the option of not needing to do that.

Psychology is a great option as there are multiple career options - not just in the public sector with a career in teaching, a lot of private sector blue chip companies like psychology graduates for their management programs. Additional study can take you into areas like social work too which is in very high demand.
I've worked in education, F.E and H.E for over 10 years and never met anyone who studied 'classics'.
