My husband took a course to become a security guard. Basically, it pays $12 an hour to start, then goes up to $25 an hour once he gets his gun license.
There is a catch: A security guard company has to agree to hire him as an armed guard, otherwise he can only make $12 an hour.
I made a couple of phone calls trying to find if he will get the higher-paying job. This is what I was told, "The security guard companies call us and ask for TALL guys."
This is how they get around discrimination: The security guard companies can't legally discriminate, so they only ask for TALL guys, and thus get around this problem.
Are there any other jobs like this?

I don't get it.
They don't want your husband, and know he's short? You / they think all Jews are short? (Don't tell Omri Casspi that!)

I'm a bit confused about what they're not saying by saying they only want tall guys?

I know flight attendants need to be a minimum of, I think, 5'5". If you think about it, it makes sense. At 5' I often can't actually reach the overhead bins...

I'm not clear why this is "discrimination". If security guard companies want tall, intimidating guys, it's their right to look for that.

I work in a place with armed guards, some tall, some short. There's hope.
