It depends on what your goals are. Perhaps from a purely practical standpoint, there are diminishing returns, but we should also consider the plummeting job market people graduating in the next couple years will be coming into. Having something to help you stick out might be useful, even from the practical standpoint.

Of course, there are points of view outside this too, and it is ridiculous to dismiss these perspectives as objectively wrong. Some people actually enjoy the liberal arts, the fine arts, entrepreneurship, etc.
