Chances are, if you have extra interest in a field other than the one you are majoring in, it can be satisfied by a few extra courses. That way, you don't have to waste time taking less interesting courses so you can get a second major.

I can't even stress how true this is. I did a physics minor in my undergrad and was able to take exactly the courses I was interested in and not one class more. I had no interest in taking higher-level E&M courses, astrophysics, or any junk like that. I just wanted my quantum, extra thermodynamics, and solid state classes. A friend of mine did the physics double, and there's only one real class they could say was worthwhile having taken. Undergrad major was in Materials Science & Engineering, if that matters.
