I didn't mean it as a concentration camp, i meant it as something that gets you used to work and teaches you how to hold a job. Most kids don't hold a job because they lack the ambition and the feel of how rewarding it can be to work. It's more of a camp that teaches you how the real world works. Once you succeed, you are off. What you learn there, you use. It's no different than a regular camp, except you are asked to perform the same functions as any successful person performs day in and day out. On top of that, you can learn special trade skills in the camp (part of the training) and it's not just janitors and maids thing.

The idea Warren Buffet has was that it teaches you how to be responsible. Usually by means of force, but it opens your eyes to how the real world works and what successful people have to do everyday to live. My dad was a total slacker until he got drafted for Vietnam. Sadly, he says that was the turning point in his life where everything got easier from then on. Staying in 100+ temp with humidity or 90% and going down to 20 Deg outside at night, day in an day out, hardens you really quick.

To be honest, the camp sounds like a great idea for people that have been on the streets. It takes you from being a no-nothing to being a potential society contributor. It would make sense to get people trained. Sadly, no such thing exists. it's not supposed to be punishment, as much as it is a learning tool. How to work and be successful.

Also, i know there are performers and stuff like that, but I am gearing this towards kids that want to do nothing but play video games and watch TV all day. Or hang out at places on the corners to harass someone. These are the people that need the camp, not people like you and me that probably know a fair bit about how to get by in the world. Still, it teaches you how to be a part of society.

Once you have proven yourself sucessful day in and day out at the camp, they sign you up at a job, and off you go! Work up the corporate ladder!
