It's so funny to me that people don't see the value in, and necessity of, some of the major listed here!
My major is a interdisciplinary one that's largely focused on philosophy. What's great about it is that, since it's so interdisciplinary and everyone gets experience in a lot of fields, both "practical" and theoretical, they end up being employable in a variety of fields. People have gone into business, education, government, the arts, publishing, you name it -- and not exactly lower-tier jobs, either. I think the interdisciplinary majors, even the "weird" ones, can be really fantastic for making people employable and well-versed in many areas.
(Of course, I'm one of those people who believes in learning for learning's sake and doing what you love regardless of the income, but I know that's not a popular belief around here.
)
Edit: Also, forgot to mention that I have a friend who received a B.A. in Peace & Conflict Studies and now works for the European Union. Most of her fellow majors from her college are working in government or research, some starting beyond entry-level because of the internships they had. Make no mistake -- that's a desirable degree these days.
