Calculating “Return on Investment” (ROI) is a common practice when considering the merits of a financial commitment. For many an investment in education (and where to acquire it) is overwhelming at best.

What components should be considered and what would the formula look like to calculate the ROI for a post secondary education? Is there an existing method available to compare the ROI of like educations at different schools?

I know there are many subjective variables, but what hard numbers should be applied?
