sorry for sounding overly dramatic i just really want to make a career out of music and this is quite a big decision...
You should follow whatever you have the most drive and energy for, and it seems like at the moment that is jazz.
Would choosing one over the other prevent you from being a session musician? I doubt it, if you can play, you can play. Youve got your grade 8 already (well done) even if you end up not playing your classical guitar for a few years and only using a pick. You could still do a Bmus with jazz guitar right?
I dont think it will prevent you being a session musician in the future, if you want to/need to play classical you could just rehone your skills.
For any other musical career it really really would not matter at all.
