For anyone involved in a life or profession that deals with human behaviour (which is arguably everyone), knowledge and understanding of communication, conflict-resolution, motivation, etc. is immensely helpful.

Studying these situations and complex scenarios that arise in each situation really aids those in various professions that dedicate their lives to helping people improve and understand their behaviour or psychological processes.

The term social science is a catch all for so many subjects it is sort of like asking "why should we study life"? Learning about our own identity, history, culture, and how we relate to other humans on this planet is essential to living as one. Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, all of these are essentially the study of what it means to be human.
