I'll be entering college soon (3 days!), and I know its kind of early to be thinking about this, but I have some questions about what major or minor is best to complement my Physics major. I hope to earn a Ph.D in Physics. Right now I'm more interested in the theoretical and basic side of science than in the applied side, although that could obviously change in 4 years and I'm keeping my mind open.
I'm a motivated physics student, but I would be lying if I didnt say I was worried about employment and paying for my undergraduate and graduate education. So with that out of the way, what other major or minor will best complement my Physics education and improve my employability (maybe in areas outside physics)? If I only major/minor I can take more advanced Physics classes (possibly all my school has to offer if i schedule it right ), but if I double major I'll have more knowledge in my fall-back area (not sure how much a major in Math will help with physics as opposed to a minor)
So what should be the other major/minor: Math,computer science, EE, engineering science, astronomy, applied math?
edit: btw: i know this question has probably been asked before, so please excuse the duplication
