have him work a month doing manual labor 50hrs/week

I bet he'll begin to appreciate things

what kind of manual labor? he's in football season right now so that might suffice

i worked as a laborer for a general contractor my high school summers, so that was the sort of thing I was alluding to.

much more of a summer experience -- too hard to do while in school/season

got it. my older bro was big on Habitat for Humanity

and I've heard lots of good things about serious boyscouting
