Its just a strange thing to hear people say a physics masters is useful because it demonstrates your capacity to learn the same material as a computer science undergrad. I certainly respect a physics degree for the same reason I respect a math degree: it shows me that this person can work really, really hard for a long a time. If you're in physics or math you may know exactly what I mean, but if you're outside: it is bonkers how hard they have to work.
