There seems to be a large percentage of recent college graduates who are unemployed.

I was hired to a job a year ago that required to see my transcript and GPA for a college degree I got 15 years ago. Apparently grades matter longer than you'd expect.

That's extremely rare. That's also extremely obnoxious because if you don't still have those on hand, after 15 years, your university might not either.

I remember needing to get my high school transcripts in order to get a public trust clearance when I was almost 30. The school didn't even have them anymore.

If it was federal or state gov job or they had federal contracts then yeah.
