One person in five who receives university education becomes a millionaire, according to official figures.
Twenty per cent of all adults who hold at least one university degree — more than two million people — now have wealth totalling at least £1 million, data from the Office for National Statistics show.
Almost a tenth of all British adults now own assets — property, pensions, savings and physical objects — worth £1 million or more.
The total number of millionaires in Britain has risen by 50 per cent in four years despite the recent financial crisis. The figures showed a stark gap in wealth between people with different levels of education. Only three per cent of people with no formal educational qualifications have assets worth more than £1 million.

Thought this was quite an interesting statistic (seems university does pay on the surface), I personally thought it wouldn't be this high but it's not something that had really crossed my mind.
Will be interesting to see if this trend continues, or whether the push to have large numbers of school leavers going to university will reverse it in the coming years.
