Note: The above was a pun.
So, I am trying to decide between a Comp Sci or Physics major - whichever I major in, I while minor in the other. I would rather do a CS major, but I have been told that employers don't much like to see a CS major, and see it as being merely a "computer nerd". So, those of you who have some experience in the field (hoping a decent amount), what say you on this topic?
P.S. My intended career is Software Engineering or some such thing.

My best friend has Physics degree and works in IT; I doubt very seriously he could've gotten a CS degree and worked in physics.

I don't understand why you would major in physics when you know you want to work in CS.

Don't bother with physics, it's a waste of time for what you want to do.

Physics degrees are aimed at graduate work, and minors are rare in my experience

How many physics majors do we have here not working in the field of physics? At least four.
