While it's true that some professions have state required certifications or licenses, that doesn't mean individual employers can't require more. In physical therapy, most home health companies try not to hire a brand new graduate. Because of the isolation of working by yourself, in the pt's homes, and the challenges that go along with it, they want people with at least one yearm of experience where they've had the opportunity to be mentored by experienced clinicians. Along the same lines of accountants there is no law requiring a credential or minimum amount of education to call yourself a personal trainer. Individual gyms set there own requirements that applicants must meet to be considered for employment. I heard of one that a former colleague interviewed with requires it's trainers to stay below a certain bodyfat percentage. Others require credentials from specific companies. The employer has the right to set their criteria, especially when they're paying million+ dollar salaries. I agree the arbitrary age thing could be considered age discrimination, but with a high profile employer like the NBA, you would think that would've been addressed legally by now, if it was. Regardless, like I said before, it's easy to get around with different language.
