As with any good question, my answer is "yes and no". 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't until much later that I read things like Guns Germs and Steel that I started learning about "why things are". 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. The other challenge of deep humanities like philosophy is that college students simply don'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. 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'm an adult and dad and have no time to read, I really wish I knew those things. Mixed bag. In the end there's far more to learn than you can in a single lifetime.
