Well unless you wanted to work behind a retail counter getting a degree is a good way to expand your potential options.

It is the right path, if the things you want to do require a degree. If you want to work in the trades, you can do that too, with a different sort of pathway.

Simple fact of the matter is that people with degrees earn more money than those without. So if your pathway was 'earn more money', then sure, this was the best path. If you thought more about 'what do I want to do' then there are other paths available depending on the answer to that question.

Did Mr. Peruzza imply this would help him now?

He's giving the facts of the matter, and this is relevant even here in the US. If you don't go and get experience during college, you're going to be well behind your peers that do. Both in interviewing and getting noticed via your resume.

Universities that are smart push these things all the time for good reason, they improve hiring rates.
