I wouldn't say I hated history in school. I certainly didn't like it, but that's definitely not the case now.

I believe there are two reasons behind that change, for be personally.

1. I went to public school and a majority of the history classes I remember were busy work / the way it was being taught.

2. I'm older and more mature.

Same for me for history. I didn't hate it, but I find history much more interesting since high school. A big change for me with respect to history of science and technology was reading Thomas Kuhn's "Structures of Scientific Revolutions".
