This depends entirely on you and whether or not you value this kind of thing. Having two majors in and of itself won’t really help you get a job. Having two majors in complementary areas that help you develop skills and experiences that are of value in the job market could help you get a job - e.g., double-majoring in economics and math and becoming a quantitative economic analyst or a financial analyst; or double-majoring in English and computer science and becoming a technical writer, etc.

But there are other ways to build a wide variety of skills - just take classes in areas that interest you, or do a minor, or get a part-time job or an internship in an interesting area, go to seminars, workshops, etc.
