Dunno anything about your career or what you should major in, but I will say that one of my Father's favorite classes in college was logic. He joked and said it should be required, since people often don't think logically. The class could possibly be useful, if non-major learning and progression are cares of yours. I'll probably take it at some point, although that's a ways off from the apps I'm doing now : P.

Intro to Logic has to be the most underrated course. I think it should be mandatory. It will help you no matter what else you study and no mater what field you work in.

I loooved logic. To me, most of the problems were like a big puzzle you had to put together. However, I did know many many fellow students who hated it and/or didn't do well at all....so make sure you study and ask questions if you don't get something!

There are a few exceptions -- students who take a math-with-proofs course probably would find such a course redundant.

I think that most of your math-with-proofs courses usually don't cover proposition calculus in the level of detail that you see in a logic course and may not cover predicate calculus at all.
