In the super-tight job market of today's expanding economy, even firms on the cutting edges of technology cannot sign up enough computer science or electrical engineering or business majors to meet their needs. As a result, more and more businesses have broadened their recruiting efforts to include once-shunned liberal arts students.

Career placement advisors are thrilled. Predictably, the greatest demand is for math and science majors. Foreign language majors are also in demand with schools. Surprisingly, while Spanish majors are highly sought after, the sharpest appetite is for Latin majors, according to Davis-White. Recruiters are eager to find college graduates who majored in Latin because high school students in significant numbers continue to want to study it.
