Hang around with some photo assistants and shoot alot....
Seriously, I'd spend the money on a few lighting DVD's, Zack Arias's workshop/DVD, strobist DVD, etc.... and get a starving student light kit or two from www.mpex.com and practice alot with a plastic head from a wig store or a few willing friends... and yes, get a book called "Lighting Science and Magic"
On photographer bulliten boards, it's strange how lighting talk turns info a religious war amongst almost-pro photographers, not just Nikon vs Canon, but Profoto vs Speedotron and anything vs Alien Bees .. whatever... whereas when i was assisting, the talk amongst photographers actually working was mostly about how to bill clients, image rights and sometimes things like plume wafer vs elinchrom octobank...
Thanks to ebay, and alot of pro photograhers selling some stuff, you can get real lights like speedotron black line fairly cheap on ebay....
