As a universal statement that's not true. For one thing, going to a major is not everyone's ultimate goal. Becoming a senior captain or getting involved in management at a good regional can also be an excellent career. For another thing, a 'few seniority numbers' can easily mean the difference between getting furloughed and keeping a job. That is especially important now with the industry on the back end of a hiring trend and facing an uncertain future.
You fly Cessnas, don't make blanket statements about an industry in which you've never worked.
And by the way despite the title of this thread if you read the original post he implied that he was planning on finishing college... unless he meant that he was going to drop out with as little as one semester to go.
