Are they impressed because you double-majored, or are they specifically in need of someone with a degree in Physics? Because that's where I lose the plot: what do you do with a BS in Physics? Or Biology? I know there's a need for people with degrees in Science, but I've always seen ads looking for people in specific fields, like Food Science. The only people I know with Science degrees all pursued graduate degrees of some sort, either to supplement their BS with a Master's in a related field, or to earn a Ph.D.

A physics degree shows that your competent in math and building models. Every sector of engineering is built upon physics and models so it would be rather easy to turn a physics degree into an engineering job with a little networking or the proper extra curricular activities. Math is similar although it would probably apply more in the software industry. From a quick google it appears that median wages for Physics grads is actually higher than EE and math had a similar pay rate.

I can't give much input on stuff like biology or other life science degrees.
