Hi all,
Wanted your opinion on this. Which one would be more feasible during the school year?
Self-studying physics/ take programming class or vice versa?
They would both be on the beginner level. I have an interest in both, but due to my class schedule I cannot fit both.
Thanks!

Depends on where your interest lays. A personal opinion: as you probably need equipment for physics, learning to program is a better option. Actually I'd say take physics classes or self study programming.
Self study physics.
What do you want to take them for? General interest? Or as a skill?
What level is "beginner level"? Have you ever studied either? How good is your maths?
Beginner level at grad school is not the same as beginner level at high school....
More info pls
If you study computational physics you will do both
First, do the engineering math sequence. Banks look for both of those majors because the math coursework is difficult and then the higher level courses rely extensively on your ability to apply what you learned there.
Calc 1-3, DiffyQ, Calculus-based probability, linear algebra, (numerical methods).
A CS minor has some practical value, but it doesn't differentiate you like a Physics or CS major would.
I have taken up to Calc 2, and I want to learn a little bit of both for my own general interest.
Not looking to be proficient in either, just want to learn physics because I have never touched that subject in my life and I heard it is important. For programming, I just want to learn the basics of coding.
Thanks of for the advice guys!
Physics reminded me that that would have proportionately increased the resistance, and instead of dissipating the voltage and heat in the device designed to dissipate it, it could be happening in those wires, instead. So I felt them when the bike was running, and they were burning hot- hot enough to probably melt the insulation. I told the mechanic what I noticed and asked him if he could look there first, I turned out to be right, and it saved me $500.
But programming is a much more helpful professional skill. In fact, you are probably required to take a VBA course as a business major. Just pay attention there and it will serve you well. In terms of a CS minor, I don't think it offers much differentiation. I don't think a physics minor does either. CS and physics majors get trading jobs because they spend 90 credit hours applying calculus, stats, and arithmetic logic and then many more hours doing it in projects.
Do this stuff because it's interesting and it's a little practical until you start to forget it. NOT because having it on your resume will get you a job. An engineer going up against an Oxford applied mathematics degree is going to get creamed, and someone with a finance BA and three math courses and two programming classes is going to get creamed by an engineering major.
Also be aware that a lot of these classes curve to a B- average and will hurt your GPA.
