Is there a strong, positive correlation between levels of literacy and earning capabilities?

Although this doesn't necessarily mean highly literate people are super wealthy, it does appear to suggest people with higher education tend to have greater success in life.

In general, yes, but there's a ceiling to the effects of literacy. Once you're literate, it's up to your other qualities to differentiate yourself from other literate people.

I guess it all comes down to getting your hands dirty to do hard graft, either figuratively or literally. I'm quite sure physically or mentally lazy people will, over time, earn smaller rewards in life.
