I suppose it depends on how deep you go. If you study any one thing too much, you can lose sight of other important things as well as the very thing you are studying. A fair understanding of basic concepts behind Western and Eastern philosophies will help you understand different parts of the cultures you can interact with as well as people who are influenced by those philosophies.
A basic understanding of all subjects is definitely a good thing, further study can be either a benefit or a detriment, depending on what you study and how far you go with it. Personally, I have spent years studying philosophy and enjoy it a great deal.
