Is a "W" bad?

I recently switched majors from EE to physics. At the moment i am enrolled in an intro to EE class. Now i want to drop this class, one because i don't need it anymore, and two, i could be working and making money instead of being there. Will the W on my transcript be bad for grad school acceptance? (In general. I am sure it will depend on the school, but in general)

probably not, if its the only one and you have a good explanation needing to make money for living.

Can you switch it to pass fail? and then pass it.
