The first place to look for this sort of information in the US is the
Statistical Abstract of the United States [which is, sadly, scheduled
to be a victim of the US budget cuts], where table 228 turns out to be
"Mean earnings by highest degree earned', broken down by age, race,
sex.

For raw data for the UK I think you want the British Household Panel
Survey.  Access to the raw data or online table generation requires
registration at the UK Data Archive. Someone may well have done the
analysis already, though -- they have a bibliography of published
papers.
