That's scary.
Really? Why? I finished med school, did a four year residency, and a two year fellowship.
You want to know if I got a B in my college Spanish class?

Scientist in the government, with PhD+years of post-doctoral research. To get into my current govvy job 15 years ago, I had to get every college-level transcripts (some were already 12 years old by then) translated from a foreign language to prove I had taken X hours in X topic. It didn't matter that my PhD and post-doc publications were all in the field they were hiring for. Had to call and fax forms to every institution I'd taken the courses from and have transcripts faxed, then pay someone local to translate them, then send them and their translations to some expensive translation certification place that has since closed, and that demanded originals with no promise of returning them (or promised not to return them, actually), and they lowballed the heck out of my grades.
Now, at a zillion years of age and with a half-billion years of experience, I think I would need to go through the same thing if I wanted to lateral into another agency based on education, because the translations expire, or something.

Which field, if you're OK with sharing?

Librarian: with every single job offer. Sometimes they will accept copies but many times they have to be official.

Always. I'm a teacher and every single teaching job I've applied for required either a copy of my diploma with a special stamp (overseas teaching) or an official copy of all of my transcripts from college, grad school, etc.

Thankfully, never been asked for transcripts. I did graduate, but didn't exactly light the world on fire academically.

They don’t care about my grades*, but federal law requires that my position in my company be filled by someone with an accredited engineering undergraduate degree.
