Re: How well could an illiterate person do in today\'s society?
[ QUOTE ]
lets say someone is 18 now, was home schooled and learned everything orally. he has had every book read to him and such and has had a normal education aside from the fact that he cannot read. assuming he is a white male living in the U.S say growing up in a small town in montana and isnt an athlete, what is the best job this person could hold? how much do you think he could make annually and would he be able to function in a city? if my questions are too vague feel free to interpret them however you feel is most interesting to you

Well in the UK, if someone worked hard at it, within 6/7 years in the trade they could earn ~£42,000(~$84,000)/anum in construction. (I am a builder, not self employed (Any more) and that's what I earned last year after just 6 years in the business)
I have worked with tradesmen in the past that cannot read at all, and they do fine.
