Frankly, I am inherently enthralled by the cryptic mysteries of physics and feel like I would excel in it out of sheer curiosity (I have always enjoyed reading about theoretical physicists and their work), however as I mentioned I would like to get into development of some sort after graduation. I know there are at least a few careers that require a background in physics and computing, such as designing graphics engines, which I would be very interested in too.

And how difficult would it be to find a development position with a degree in Cognitive Science with a specialization on computing? I have been fascinated by AI and machine learning and was interested in perhaps pursuing this field of study.
