If you want to know what the person studied in school, ask that. But if you graduated in 1980 and have been working in the field since then, I really hope nobody cares what you studied. | |
| Aug 18, 2014 at 19:21 | comment | added | Gabe | @MonicaCellio: Do you agree that college graduation year is relevant? That is, if I got my CS degree in 1980, I probably learned FORTRAN and submitted batch jobs on punched cards; if I graduated in 2010, I probably learned Java and did HTML. That definitely seems as important as whether they graduated at all or from what school. | |

If the candidate graduated in 1980 it's safe to assume he's over 40, which (in the US) is the threshold for age discrimination. | |
