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

And I say 'rare' because I've never met anyone who graduated with a minor in physics, at my old school a minor just meant all the basic math and intro phy a comp Sci major has to take or math or chem major too plus 1 physics course and 1 lab, classical mechanics, which has little to do with computers. I doubt a minor in physics would hurt your job prospects but its really gonna depend on what field of CS you're looking at.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

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.

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