Fortunately for me, I finished my degree much later in life than most folks. Pretty sure I could pass myself off as being at least 10 years younger than I am in a job hunt.

Though we could just normalize leaveing graduation dates off of resumes... I dont6think that is especially relevant for most jobs.

I completed my undergrad at a pretty normal age of 21, I did my Masters 20 years later... but that's now getting close to 20 years ago so I guess I should remove the date on that one now too.

Until you get an in person or zoom interview.

I think I can make myself look at least a decade younger, especially over Zoom.
