I think that, especially today, poor credit history and (usually credit card) debt are so common, that using credit score as an absolute means of gauging theft potential in an employee is bullshit.
That being said, I respect and uphold that a private company can set whatever standards for employment they wish, it's not up to us. We can complain, but we can't seriously do anything about it. It's their right to hire based on criteria they feel is appropriate to their business, as long as their criteria doesn't violate government-mandated "equal opportunity" rights.
Other than that, if you apply to a bank that demands that you have a year of farming experience, then you can either shop yourself to another bank, or go get to plowing a field.
