If you love your job, should you have to find a new one because they won't let you go waterskiing?

I don't know why you used age and ethnicity as a criteria since it's already been posted that those violate current anti-discrimination laws.
Obviously the answer to your question is no.
If you wanted to, however, there isn't anything that I know of barring you from stipulating that you only accept people with Bachelor's degrees, speak Spanish fluently, and can lift 50lbs from a prone position. I suppose that would limit your pool significantly to middle-aged, Mexican men. If it didn't limit it enough to your liking (although I don't understand the utility of your criteria), I suppose you could keep thinking of more requirements until you obtained your desired hiring population.
You last question seems like a non-sequiter. You are comparing a pre-hire requirement to a new demand on an established employee, known health risks (some of which adversely effect others) to an unknown
possible risk, and seem to be basing one's ability to retain employment on one's capacity to "love" his or her job.
In any case, I don't believe a worker should have to seek employment if he or she can't waterski. I just don't understand how it fits with the conversation or what I might have typed that led you to believe I would support such a policy.
