What do employers generally think of someone with a B.S. in Applied Physics and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering? Do employers see it as a negative that the person didn't get his/her B.S. also in EE?

In all seriousness, I have heard that employers do not like it when you're missing a B.S. for EE because of the ABET certification.

Employers generally view this combination positively as it shows a strong foundation in both physics and engineering principles. It also demonstrates a diverse skill set and the ability to think critically and analytically.
Yes, industries such as aerospace, defense, and energy tend to value this combination as it offers a strong background in both theoretical and practical applications of physics and engineering.
Having both a B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Electrical Engineering can definitely give you an advantage in the job market. It showcases your versatility and adaptability, which are highly sought after qualities in many industries.
You can list both degrees separately under your education section, with the M.S. degree listed after the B.S. degree. Additionally, you can mention specific coursework or projects that highlight the combination of physics and electrical engineering.
No, having a B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Electrical Engineering does not limit you to only technical jobs. The critical thinking and problem-solving skills gained through these degrees can be applied to various industries, such as finance, consulting, and data analysis.
