I normally don't come around much, but I feel the need to chime in here.
About 11 years ago my dad applied for a job with a Delphi. He is an engineer, graduated from Lafayette College in Easton PA in 1981.
15 years out of college and he held his previous job for 15 years, yet they wanted to see his college transcripts and to make sure he had at least a GPA of 3.5. He spent a few years there and went back to the original company he worked for, but the point is companies aren't afraid to check your transcripts no matter how long you've been out.
Most of the time your college transcripts will follow you through your entire life. The moral of the story is work hard, do your best and do whatever you can to make sure those transcripts help you instead of haunt you.
Sure there are idiots with 4.0s and geniuses with 2.5s, but don't put yourself into a position where a company will just blow you off.
