Weird interests

Considering applying for Oxford law, Oxford Classics or Oxford theology and religion for undergrad. Those 3 courses are the ones I’m most passionate abt (theology and religion and law are my 2 most passionate ones) and I believe my application can be paint a strong narrative for all 3. However, as wierd as it may sound, while those 3 courses are my passions, I would wanna go into business (like investment banking or consulting) after uni. Would for exmaple a top tier investment bank or a big consulting firm be less likely to recruit me and want me if I pick a course like theology? For context, I don’t wanna do Econ as I’m not passionate abt it and I wanna go into some sort of top tier business related field cuz I think it’s interesting and while my family isn’t too low income, I think it would help us out a lot if I pursued a high paying career. Btw, to any Americans who r gonna say something like in the USA they don’t care what major u study as long as u come from a target uni, in the UK they do admit by major/ course so they could care as some majors are easier to get into than others
