Both are amazing subjects to study. Both of them let me think broadly, deeply upto which I want to go in search of somthing or only just to know to do something.
I loved physics and I still do. The most rewarding times for me were getting correct answers for the problems.
But sadly I have programming topics in my priorities list. But I would love to solve physics problems and tutor high school students on those topics.
I think both of them makes you think hard. Regarding picking between the 2 as profession I guess in my country only the brave and passionate ones will go for physics coz there are very less good universities with research/ work opportunities. Whereas ABUNDANCE of opportunities in programming.
I would suggest to enjoy physics and try to replicate your learning through programming to make it even more enjoyable. (as August Frisk said "Jobs as programmers for physicists")
