Is MBA a good approach?

Thanks for the response Polo08816. Allow me to formulate my question with more clarity.

I have graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering, but also have experience in restaurant management. In terms of my business goal, I plan on combining the two skills with my hobby of art and visual effects to create a theme restaurant in which the method the waiters/waitresses travel and the way the food is delivered has an effect similar to what you might call “movie magic.” If you’re familiar with the restaurant, Medieval Times, I plan on running a restaurant in a similar fashion, but on a smaller scale and with more visual effects on with an ongoing story. If that is successful, I will expand this concept to hotel and resorts. However, for me to see the level of art and magic I wanted to apply to a whole city, I must expand beyond just creating the effects and move into a role to encourage international investment into this field. I realize that this is not a widespread goal for someone seeking an MBA, but will the MBA be a useful path to get there?

I hope this clarifies things a little bit. I understand it may still be very confusing since it’s difficult for me to express what I wanted without visual aid and without giving away too much info on the details of the operations.
