Overly simplistic and really obscure percentages. I presume that in your utopia 70-80% of the population is intelligent enough to go to University (I don't think that percentage graduate from high school even) and that robots replace the common labourer, the people who do the relatively smaller, menial jobs - working in a phone centre, retail outlet, drive a truck. The fact is that while sponsoring a university education does have dividends for the country, there surely is a plateau for these returns.
