Not even as blatant as gender studies, for example history is quite popular here relative to the prospects after getting the degree. I know two history majors well, both found it very hard to use it for anything. One started over on a math major as math teachers are in high demand. Other had taken a single psychology course as one of their self-selected courses during their degree, and ended up teaching psychology in high-school, as the school had plenty of history majors to pick from but hardly any with psychology.
