To stay or not to stay

I'm a hs student in Cali. I want to work in IB and maybe PE but I have trouble deciding where I want to go to school. I love Cali but I'm wondering if I would make more money in NY than in LA. (I've decided money doesn't follow me so I'm gonna have to follow it). I have a feeling it will be NY but I'm not sure what top schools I should apply to if that's the case. If it's not and I get to stay in LA, I'm going with the USC route. Thanks in advance.
