๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’€ It really shouldn't matter but I was asked for my graduation year with 7 YOE.

What's a concise way to summarize this: didn't graduate the year I'm supposed to (2013), worked in between, went back to school and fnally finished bachelor's degree 6 years later (2019).

So is that still class of 2013 (prob not right)? Or class of 2019?

Class of 2019. If they ask you how that makes sense, then tell them the story and what you learned from the time away and in the field. If anything it shows you had the drive to finish out when you couldโ€™ve quit after taking the break. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Thatโ€™s class of 2019. You can say you took some time off in the middle and went back to complete it in 2019

I would be careful about answering this. Asking a graduation year is a back-door way for the interviewer to figure out your age....and questions about age are illegal. If your work history is on your resume, that's what you need.

You can emphasize that you were working during this time to minimize your education costs/student loan amounts. This is a nice way to show them youโ€™re responsible and cost conscious.
