Many science-related fields still require a lot of non-science work. It's just the nature of the beast. If you are enjoying science this much, try to reach out into extra-curriculars, especially at college. Befriend a professor and inquire about becoming a lab assistant or look into internships early. These kinds of jobs can be fun, very rewarding, and offer experience worth a lifetime. You typically get more hands-on opportunities than you'd ever get in the classroom, it's a [i]huge[/i] resume builder, and you can sometimes make some very good money. I studied electrical engineering for four years and got to do some fun stuff on the side. I was a TA for a microelectronics lab, helping younger students with their projects, and I got to work in a lab for a summer, doing research on lithium air batteries. I wasn't a particularly strong student, though I had decent grades, I just became good friends with a professor and was offered opportunities (I was offered the TA position over Facebook for snapping a picture of a power supply I had built and painted pink)
