perhaps do a double major with a MBA?

Career wise that'd be a better option probably. 
CS is what I want to do mainly, math I came into school with a bunch of credits.  The recommended course schedule, I'm a year ahead for math.  Physics I'd love to do though.

well with the course load you were talking about it would be good prep for being a physics programmer should check out some physics engines and programming and look into further to see if you would really enjoy it

Honestly I'm pretty confident that would be something I'd enjoy. 
Though confidence doesn't necessarily mean anything. 

I even found a job that asks for such things!  (I mean there are other jobs, but this one actually explicitly talks about the degree).

"Physics/mathematics/computer science degree."

Thank you everyone for your input!  Very much appreciated.  I'll get back to you all in a few years about it.

So im playing ff8 on steam,  doing my normal thing getting lionheart on disk 2, and randomly after i got it, the damage all of my characters broke.  It might have been something else, but something i did broke the damage lol  everyone does 9999 for a basic hit,   i have 100 tornado in my str junctions, and my elemtal-atk  is empty for the purposes of trying to figure out wtf is going on.. and im still in my low 20's. If i do my limit breaks, the damage goes back to normal for just the limit break, its really weird.   I havent seen this happen before, zell went from doing 500 to 9999 lol

Looks like CS requires 63 credits, Physics requires 42 credits, and Math requires 40 credits. 
It's a bit weird to me. 
Though there's a ton of overlap between all 3 majors.

I'm thinking about taking an AP test.

I'm thinking about taking an AP test. 

But you're in college?

[the-pi-guy]

But you're in college?

From my understanding, you are still able to take AP tests after HS, you just need to find a school willing to test you. 
"Thank you for contacting AP Services. In accordance with AP Policy, teachers, department chairs, tutors, individuals involved in test preparation services, and educators of any kind (including but not limited to, curriculum specialists, guidance counselors, and administrators) are prohibited from taking or reviewing the content of an AP Exam.

College and post-high school students should consider taking the CLEP exam instead. For details of the CLEP program, visit their web site at: About the College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

College and post-high school students may take the AP exam only if they can find a high school willing to admit them. Only the college can let you know whether or not you can obtain credit for an AP exam. "

The CLEP tests don't cover the same stuff though.
