It mattered somewhat in getting my job. It matters more in the future, though. In order to remain certified, I am required to obtain my master's degree within 10 years, otherwise I lose my certification (I'm a teacher).
In order to avoid a lot of crap trying to get into a graduate program, it is necessary to have a GPA above 3.0. So in a sense, having a good GPA is essential to my career.
