How can I motivate a teenage boy with ADD?

Okay, Let me just start off by saying nothing physical, like nothing that involves him touching me or vs. verse. Its a pain and a distraction.

But I'm helping him fill out job applications, but he just wants to play video games. I put his cell phone, Ipod Psp and X Box in another room and he still manages to get a hold of them.

He's okay when hes not in his house, so he would be a great worker, but its just when hes able to be with his games...

Any ideas, Im thinking food, but then I might start treating him like a dog... and hes not into gifts, nor could I fund that.

Any ideas?

    Adderall maybe? or just tell him that he his going to be a man soon and he should start acting like one and that playing video games won't get him anywhere in life.
