I think this points towards the inability of traditional schooling to engage kids in educational topics. I experienced something similiar where I bounced off math in school, partially because it was taught to me as rote memorization. Only years later did I realize how much I enjoy learning maths.

Traditional schooling has its flaws, but in the case of life science I would argue it goes the other way- students are dazzled by the cool parts and unaware of the slog after school.
