The purpose of that fingerprinting is to make sure that there is no history of crime...very different than allowing big brother to begin a file on your child..
I would ask them to weigh the benefits of being printed against not getting the job..
There is a plan being put forth that everyone in America have a "travel" card (National ID by another name) with a picture,a thumb print,and a chip with information from one or more of the many national data bases.....
Sorry stu..but I don't like it...

When the military or civil authorities finger print you, you will have a file, regardless of the original reason. Most states licensing agencies now have your face in a digital database. When you walk by a mirror in a supermarket, you usually have your picture taken, when you go to the bank, the same. There are very few individuals in this country that are not in a database. Currently, you cannot ride on a commercial airliner without a picture ID. I don't care for it either, but unless we want to go back in time, that's the way it is. With increased civil protections, we have decreased civil liberties.
