I believe it only has practical use in Medicine, Law and Theology. Its still highly regarded because its a classical subject.

As it said its a classical subject. I assure you, Latin doesn’t exist in the real world. But many employers, and universities, especially the elite ones still like the idea of a classical education.

Latin is valuable for linguistics and even English grammar. I learned more about grammatical constructions in English and the other 9 languages I studied while studying Latin than I did in classes specific to the grammars of those languages individually.

If you study Romance languages, understanding Latin gives you a head start.

That’s in addition to any scientific field, for which a command of the basics of Latin and even Ancient Greek are a huge advantage.
