I just discovered a recent form of age discrimination [View all]

I was recently laid off at 67yo.
Several companies I've tried to apply to require my education history, including dates. It's utterly irrelevant to my life 46 years later, and can't be validated because it's too old for the institutions to want to keep the records. (Yes, I've asked).
Worse, these employers want transcripts of every class I've taken since.
Only people under about 25yo have bothered to keep all that rubbish.

They only ask for 10 years of employment history. Why try to go back so far, and with such precision, on education?

AGE DISCRIMINATION is the only possible answer.
