An electrical engineering degree, whether you end up working in the field or not, is a valuable "piece of paper" to have. It proves you can problem solve - the essence of software engineering.
Although it is a difficult degree, it awards your hard work with self-learning skills - you'll pick up software no problems. And if you like to think, which you must to get through EE, you'll find your brain in the same deep state of thought.
EE does indeed allow you to cross professional boundaries.
With an EE degree only and no experience, my first job in IT was as an Oracle developer after which I moved to London, set up my own company and worked 8 years for a global financial institution.
One EE alumni became a lawyer, another a financial quant (also with no other qualifications)
The only problem you face is the same problem every developer faces - getting your first job.
