It'll take at least 3 years of full time study before you get (really) into any interesting fields of physics, and if you are going to have other subjects too, you'd have to work your ass off.
Math, on the other hand, is exceptionally useful for a CS person, and if you do it right, carries an equal amount of marketable 'smarts'.
Yeah, so it may be a bit boring at times, but as long as you keep your discipline up and learn all the proofs, you should be fine.

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

Honestly, CS (major) and Math is a better option.

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