Lifetime ROI? Does not make sense.
If an EE degree gives you $571k over a lifetime, then it's an extra $15k
per year.
Actually it ramps up from perhaps $5k per year at the start of your career to perhaps $30k per year as you get close to retirement.
And employers aren't paying for the degree - they are paying for the work you do. The degree encourages them to set you onto more demanding work that promises to earn them more money, and if the degree instilled knowledge and habits of work that let you succeed in that more demanding work you will get more of it, and perhaps even more demanding work.
The reality is that the people who will decide whether you get interviewed won't have a clue what an engineer does (though they sincerely think that they do understand it) and the interviewer frequently doesn't either (though they can get a lot closer).
