Default Re: How well could an illiterate person do in today\'s society?

You could probably get a job in construction. My dad and most of his friends, while not illiterate, could not read English yet they managed to get construction jobs.

When my dad retired his income was about $65-70k.

He lives in a suburb of Toronto and has managed fine. Mind you he can read English now but for the first 10 years he couldn't yet had no major issues.
