I generally thought I was fairly well rounded before collage, but oddly enough it was fairly technical classes just outside of my specialty that I found most enlightening.

'History of Math' (Algebra was not developed until the dark ages? etc) 'foundations of geometry' (starts with logic and builds to counting and Euclidean geometry) 'Information Security' (Mostly a people problem.)

Where the purely technical classes like C++ and Databases where fairly useless by themselves.
