Radiologists, why should I do rads? (MS4 extremely torn)

Torn between anesth/rads. Scoured SDN/reddit/premed101. But extremely lost.

Here are my concerns:

1. Want to have a lifestyle - I have far more hobbies that I want to pursue (ie travel) and don't want to be dedicating my whole life to medicine. You can ask me right now, "what do you want from life" and my instant thought is: travel the whole world. I know that some rads places do take call, and I am okay with once in a while. I know that some rads require 247 reads, and you will work some days harder, and that's ALSO ok.
2. Finances - Don't tear me apart for this, but $ is important. Carib school debt + aging parents who don't have a retirement fund since they made bad financial decisions and have invested in me, in hopes I'll take care of them + desire to have a decent lifestyle... PCP isn't going to cut it unless you put mad hours/do fellowship (which usually require mad hours), which contradicts #1
3. Interest in the field itself. Thanks to COVID, won't be able to rotate through Rads in time for the match. BUT, scans look cool. I always thought they were interesting and would always be excited to interpret them (literally would slash them out of my friends hands so I can make the first DDx). But I always wonder, will I miss seeing patients and being their doctor? Most people that do intern year say that you won't miss it and EVERY SINGLE IM/Surg attending I've spoken to has told me the grass is greener on the rads side, and they wish they can do it, and that if I have the board scores, I should do it...
4. Happiness/satisfaction at work - medscape only shows 25% of rads attendings are happy at work. I know that medscape had a small sample size (3%) and this is a huge confounding variable, but I'm curious as to how happy you are.

PS - I am not a major extrovert, but also not a major introvert. I enjoyed talking to patients during my IM rotation, but I had some good experiences. Although,my attendings who have been in practice for years, they literally have said to me (in response to, I enjoyed talking to patients) - "you've done it for 1 day, wait till you do it for 10 years"

TLDR

1. lifestyle (want to travel, have family)
2. $ (debt, retire my parents, have $ for MY family/kids/passions)
3. Interest/will I miss patients?
4. Happiness at work
