A lot of people pick those majors, not because they're interested in building bridges, but because its more likely there will be a job at the end of the degree.

Very true. At my undergrad school, the ratio of EE/CS-majors to physics majors was about 7:1. Majoring in physics -- at my school, at least -- was widely believed to be useful only for applying to grad school, rather than getting a job after graduation.
p(I went with the EE/CS department because they had all the fun labs -- you didn't have lab classes in the physics department that would let you implement Tetris on a tall building, for example. Nor would you have as many opportunities to blow up an infinite variety of integrated circuits. Good times.)c
