However, unless you are planning on grad school the employment opportunities for physicists as such are few.

If you can hack it, try a double major or a major/minor combo that involves physics and something like engineering (particularly electrical or civil), chemistry or biology. Pretty good market for CE's right now. Also, there is some demand for health physics.

There is some demand for physicists that write code. I've made a little money off that.

I realized a few years ago that I'm probably a better engineer than scientist so I may be a bit biased.
I'm minoring in math by default, so I recently added English with Technical Writing Specialization. Hopefully that will give me some sort of edge. I tried to minor in Chemistry, but those professors are intolerable really, and we have no engineering program. So yeah, it'll probably be grad school for me, somewhere, but that is a major life decision that I can put off for at least a year still.
