Oxford: more traditional outlook, particularly politics, philosophy. Many British PMs are therefore from O. Cambridge, being the renegade from foundation, is more revolutionary and liberal.

The most important asset about going to Oxbridge, regardless of background, is the experience. It is a unique, one~in~a~lifetime experience, and is never forgotten.  As for career path post graduation, background, social networks, personal aptitudes and LUCK all play a part.
