Meh, call me what you will.  It's not like I don't know the value of the dollar.  I'm 22 and I work.  My parents happen to be pretty well off.  I'll be using the money for some nice clothes to wear in the hospital/clinic for work and a nice pair of shoes, and I'll probably pick up a new pair of jeans.  How is it any different than kids getting a new pair of skis (with bindings), new boots, and outerwear?  That is well over $1000.  Thanks for judging, though.
