Yes, some physics graduates do go into computing jobs (perhaps after finding physics jobs scarce), but that is not really the optimal route compared to majoring in CS.

It may have been better to transfer to a school where you are directly admitted to the CS major, or where entering the CS major does not have such a high GPA requirement.
