Their "real world" applications are limited, except for those who become professors in those fields, but they are a good basis for people going to law school or into other grad programs.

Okay, it depends on which type of degree... I have a Bachelor's and a Masters in history, and am finishing up a PhD... that's quite useful for publishing/writing/researching/professorship. A bachelors in history is limited, but not useless... Many companies like to hire people into management who have degrees in history, because they know they are good analysts and organizers. There are also minor research jobs (government or private) that go well with a history BA. Then there are even better ones (and many more) if you add a Masters to it. Don't know much about "classical studies," though.

Well any degree is better than no degree at all but it really depends on what you want to do. If you want to teach then any of those would be a good course of study. Also, if you wanted to be a non-fiction writer on any of those topics your degree would lend credibility to you writings as an expert in that field. If you are thinking of going into business then I wouldn't focus on any of these topics simply because you'll be out of your element when you graduate and try to get a job as an upper-manager.

If you like History, get a double major in Social Sciences and History and get into a teaching program.
Teaching would be your best bet it use the degree.

You tell me who is going to pay you decent money to know that. Is it going to help anyone's business? Is it going to make a product better / cheaper / faster? Get a major like engineering or prepare to take a bottom of the barrel job after graduation, pal. If you can't get a great job interning NOW with that degree IN college you're going to get crap AFTER college. Been there, done that, take my advice.

Education is never a waste of time, of course, but speaking as a liberal arts major, I have to say...not very useful, as far as getting a job goes. Teaching would be the best way of making a living in any of those areas.
