I would be very excited if I were to do so, you know, the more the merrier. But personally I would not for the above reasons.
Perhaps, you could get one degree...get a job...then get them to pay for half/all of the cost of the second one. That is my goal. I'm going for a ME degree, then hope some company will pay me to get an EE degree. If not, I'm happy with just ME. Another thing to know, the first year is exactly the same for both degrees.(at my college, can't promise all)
