Better to do IBD (BB) or go to Harvard/Yale/Stanford for Law School and Corporate Law

From a financial standpoint, does it make more sense to work in IBD and potentially go to PE or does it make more sense to go to H/Y/S for law school and then go into corporate law? Trying to pay off family loans so am most interested in how to make the most possible in the next few years before hopefully figuring out better what I enjoy.
