Alot of the stuff I was going to say about the subject has already been said so I won't go repeating too much.
I really think it comes down to your characters background, where they're from, I very rarely think it has to do with your race however but sometimes that might be the case!
As for Garrett he can't read nor write, he's rather young as it is and growing up as a Brume rat, let alone an orphan he didn't really have the chance to learn the normal things other people in higher standings might have, but then he can probably do somethings which others can't.
But it's rather amusing, he carries around an old broken pair of reading glasses that he wears sometimes to make himself seem like I can, a small little white lie never hurts.
So when it comes to taken on jobs and what not, he makes sure that all the information is taken in person, if I had to read it from a piece of paper he'd be a pretty rubbish freelancer!
