Great idea!

1: Job gets posted

2: High school graduate applies

3: Manager searches applicant and sees no higher education

4: "Thank you for your interest in this position, however we are looking for someone with a little more experience."

It's going to have to be phrased better than that, because (for the same age), the person who stopped at high school has more experience.

Potentially even at coding, yes, though the discussion has been more about general employment, not specifically coding.

Yeah but a even decade of bagging groceries doesn't mean a thing in a professional context, except maybe demonstrating how well one can put up with bagging groceries for ten years.

That same workaround should work for discriminating against people based on sex or race.

And as we all learned in Training Day: it's not what you know, it's what you can prove in court.
