Physicists should be able to argue their philisophical take on their knowledge. For example quantum physics, if you understand what it implies, is a very deep philisophical issue.

On the flip side, nobody wants to hear a philosopher talk about physics.

I fully agree with you. Take the opportunity however.....If you like philosophy then go for it! You get the luxury of carrying a physicist's viewpoint; use it to your advantage. You'll have an intellectual edge on the people in your class. And you, for one, will know what your talking about.
