Generally, colleges and universities would want you to excel in a grad program and recommend those before advising you to continue with a second degree. Basically, if you really "need/want" a second degree in something, you really need to explain why you're going for that second degree at the undergraduate level... if you can find a reason then provide that to them. If another "better" option exists such as going for a Masters in that second degree subject matter, then that may be an easier/faster way to get you there.
Lots of people have multiple bachelor's degrees. They're not in the same field. I have ZERO regrets about completing a second bachelor's degree. You can't always get into the master's program you want and sometimes need a second bachelor's degree. By completing my second bachelor's degree I was waived from 4 prereq courses for my MBA. Totally worth it! It was cheaper and faster to complete those courses at UMPI than it would be at Amberton. Lots of MBA programs have prereq requirements that you end up having to complete to get into the program.
