should i go to med school if i wanna travel and value work life balance?

im a highschooler rn and i wanna go to med school to be a doctor- been wanting to since i was a kid (probs sports med assuming i match into the appropriate residency) but also i value work life balance and wanna travel alot but being a doctor wouldnt always allow that flexibility. im debating if i should go to med school or not cuz so much people say if they could go back they would not do it again because of stress burnout, etc.... what r other career options that have good work life balance and pay that dont involve math
