It's funny. In Japan, at my company, there were levels that were unattainable, until the applicant was a certain age. That would be completely illegal, in the US.

Ah, well, it's all water under the bridge. After a few of these hazin- er, interviews, I got the message, and accepted that I'm in early retirement, and I work for free, these days.

Would it? My understanding is that it's illegal to discriminate against people older than 40, not age in general. Maximum age would be illegal, but minimum sounds fine as long as it is below 40.

Various political offices have an age requirement, like 35 for the president. Not sure how relevant it is though.
