How do you explain your degree at a job interview when asked?

I know you didn't mean this post to be funny in any way, but my first college credit was taken in 1992, so as far as I can tell when I finally obtain my bachelor's degree, it will FAR longer than a traditional trajectory of 4 years! LOL!

With that said, why would an employer know how long or short it took someone? I thought we simply put the year we graduated on our resumes, or am I missing something?
