Take the following for what it's worth:
Your key is the engineering classes you eluded to above. When resumes come to us, they are immediately split up into EE,CE,CS,ME,SE; then Math & Physics and then "others". High tech industries immediately look for 1. engineers 2. computer scientists and then 3. others. The reason for this is past performance. Engineers by training have the most diverse problem solving backgrounds. Then, since we are in a computer based world, good computer scientists also tend to be good problem solvers. Mathematicians and physicists usually have theoretical based problem solving capabilities. They are good in specific areas but historically don't have as broad a tool pallet to pull from. (Don't take it personal - you may be an exception.)
Physics on its own is good, but if you have physics with engineering or computer programming your income level will more than likely be substantially higher.
PM me if you are interested in any further info.
