Humanities undergrads are a joke in general. In fact practically every undergrad is a joke so it doesn't matter

Its institutions
were loaded up with great masses of ineducable persons, and
it was necessary to find something for them to do which they
could do; and in a cultural way they could do nothing. Presumably,
however, they were literate; that is, they could make
their way more or less ignorantly and uncertainly down a
printed page; and therefore innumerable "courses in English"
were devised for them.4
To me, this was the most amusing
demarche in the whole revolutionary programme, for as I
said somewhere back in these memoirs, we would not have
known what courses in English were. Nobody taught English
in our day; or rather, everybody taught it all the time. If we
expressed ourselves in slipshod English, unidiomatic English,
we heard about it on the spot, so we made a point of being
careful.

You'd presumably get a degree specifically in classics if you want your vocation to be related to classics, such as research, teaching etc.
