As with any good question, my answer is &quot;yes and no&quot;. I feel that the humanities are too easy and too hard.  I took the required ones but they were not very deep. There was a lot of memorization or assertion of some truth that I was expected to absorb.  It wasn&#x27;t until much later that I read things like Guns Germs and Steel that I started learning about &quot;why things are&quot;.  A Short History of Nearly Everything really got me hooked on the history of science and western culture. Nothing I read in college did that.<p>The other challenge of deep humanities like philosophy is that  college students simply don&#x27;t have enough life experience to see value in what it provides.  As a 40yr old adult (yesterday) I now understand the value, but no longer have the time for learning it all.<p>Do I wish I had double majored in college? No, simply because my own Computer Science degree was already way to much to complete in four years and I was eager to go build something.  Now that I&#x27;m an adult and dad and have no time to read, I really wish I knew those things.<p>Mixed bag. In the end there&#x27;s far more to learn than you can in a single lifetime.
