Is it worth pursuing a classics minor?

Currently sophomore in college planning on studying abroad next spring semester and graduating a semester early.

I’m currently studying finance at a target but I’m very into classical civilizations. My school offers a classics minor but I got on that track just this semester and I’m worried I won’t have enough time to finish it (no classes studying abroad will count and I’m graduating early). Is it worth it to take two winter classes to graduate on this schedule just to get my classics minor? I understand classics isn’t a tangible skill area like CS but I feel like it’s helped me connect to a lot of people in finance who studied something humanities related in college.
