As per the title really.
I'm 38. I left school in 1993.
I had an interview earlier this week for an admin job at a college. The interviewer went through all of my GCSE choices one by one and asked questions about them, such as why did I choose to take two languages when I wasn't planning a language based career, and why did I take drama when it wasn't really an academic subject. She didn't mention any of my later qualifications that were relevant to the role.
AIBU to think her cross examination over my GCSEs was pointless? I chose my options at 14, based upon the subjects I enjoyed and was good at. I didn't have a planned career at the time. I got good grades in them all, surely that's the important thing?

AIBU?
To really not see the point in an interviewer asking endless questions about my GCSE choices when I left school over 20 years ago?
