This may sound obvious, but it depends on how good you are. I graduated in Physics last summer, and am doing very well in a programming job. However many of my old colleagues, especially those who only learned to program during their degree, would not be a good fit for the job.

Ask yourself if you see programming, say, a web browser or a IMDb-like website an impossible feat. If so you will probably not enjoy it. If you see it as something that is eventually manageable (with a team and learning some new skills) then you will probably do very well.

I think physics provides all the analytical skills, it's just you don't want to have too much catching up to do before you are competative with other graduates.
