In my experience, very few people will actually seek such specialised,
subject-limited jobs. I graduated this June from an English university,
where the degrees are much more specialised than those in the U.S.A. So
far, my contemporaries who have found jobs include:

A Maths graduate now working in advertising.
A Chemical Engineering graduate now working as a management consultant. 
An English graduate and a Politics and Economics graduate now working in
journalism. 
An English graduate and a Politics and Economics graduate now working in
accountancy. 
An English graduate and a History graduate now working in teaching. 
A Politics and Philosophy graduate now working in publishing. 
An English graduate now working in a pressure group. 
A Politics and Economics graduate now working as a solicitor.
