MSc Finance vs Economics vs EMBA

Hi all. In 2010 I graduated from the School of Engineering in BAU Lebanon with a BE in Civil Engineering. In 2016 I recieved my MBA degree from LAU Lebanon. In 2011 I started my own engineering consulting firm and I've been running it since that time. After my graduation from the business school, I introduced a financial department into the firm. In this department we started providing our clients with financial advice regarding the types of projects with the highest return and the available markets for construction projects investments. Moreover, we prepared feasibility studies for these projects and we helped in raising funds for them through bank loans or independent investors... Recently, Lebanon started facing serious financial problems which most probably will lead to a severe financial crisis, the reason that pushed me to start thinking of starting a new career abroad. I have three options in my mind: 1- MSc in Finance 2- MSc in Economics 3- EMBA. I need some professional advice regarding my case considering my educational background and my work experience, what of these options to consider and what to eliminate in order to start after that a career in investment banking, hedge funds, consulting (financial, management...) or any other related domain where I can show my true skills and competences especially when it comes to "numbers". Thanks
