Who am I?

My name is Clayton Osterman, and I currently live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I have decided to change my life, and am currently beginning the process of leaving my currently employment and returning to school.

What school you ask? That's a good question, I don't know for sure, but I have a couple in mind.

What kind of school? Business, definitely. Although I am unsure as to what level I want to go to. An MBA program would be an obvious choice, but it isn't the most appealing to me for a number of reasons: price (in both time and money), timing, and overexposure being the major three. The local community college here has exactly the type of program I am looking for: a quick and dirty introduction to entrepreneurship.

I like it for a number of reasons, but primarily because it is exposure to the necessary components I will need to run a business, but isn't so focused that it also conforms me into a specific role. I'm an intelligent guy, and I have two bachelors degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Wyoming. While it may not be the best institution on the planet, it is still pretty good.

I happen to believe that an institution isn't really the source of value, but an institution can be a conduit for value already present. For example, for all the teaching that takes place in this world, it helps to have good teachers, but it is always the student who must learn: without the student, there is no learning. I've had a lot of experiences my almost 29 years on this planet, and I've finally decided on a path, and that path starts with business.

Thanks again for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy!
