I think most people here that go for a 2nd bachelors do so for one of two reasons:
1) They are addicted to testing and didn't quite get their fill of it from a single degree
2) They have left-over credits and find that with just a little more effort, they can get something to show for those additional credits
There are other reasons, but that's what I've seen here for the most part. Please keep in mind that in most cases a second undergrad will not greatly benefit your career nearly as much as a masters degree. This isn't always true, but for the most part it is. So... I guess if you want to do a 2nd bachelors for fun and learning, then go for it, but definitely don't think about it yet until you're close to wrapping up the first one. Then you'll want to figure out if you would rather start off on a second undergrad or go directly to the graduate degree.
