In England, up until about the nineties, a degree in Classics would significantly increase your chances of securing a high paying position in the public sector. Large numbers of people who worked for the Foreign Office had a Classics degree, for example. It was theorised that a classical education would demonstrate the necessary analytical skills and set the student up for a rigorous life in which they would have to deal with a lot of varied pieces of information all at once.

This is no longer so much the case (pic related).
