Radiology; any specialty really, pays extremely well. I know in Ontario you are north of $400K/year. The world is your oyster, if you can handle the long stretch in post-secondary, I think you'll naturally figure out what specialty you are interested in, as I believe at the beginning everybody has to take the same stuff. My cardiologist originally was planning on family medicine and being a GP until he realized how vague and overly generalized that field actually was, which immediately drew him into specializing in something to be more useful; do more good.
Yes at the start everybody studies the same things. In western medicine, you have to become a competent all round physician before you're allowed to specialize. I understand that in the old USSR for example you could go straight into a specialty (say Ear, Nose and Throat without knowing anything about Obstetrics, Psychiatry, etc) but not in any western society.

Being a good GP is said to be the hardest branch of medicine. I was a GP for a decade and I agree. You have to know quite a bit about everything.

In mid career I became a specialist. You could do that in the past. My specialty doesn't pay as much as some specialties but every branch of medicine pays well enough. And it's never boring.
 
Maybe Iā€™m just sensitive. I work in a majority-male shipyard. I see old men stop and turn their decrepit bodies a full 180 when ANY woman walks by just to ogle them. Itā€™s disgusting.
I'm not a fan of that either.
But remember women do it too. I get hit on by tons of 20 some year olds... girls...
It doesn't bother me and I am single but I never go there. I have as much in common with them as one of @AutoMechanic
steak dinners...lol
 
I'm the one in the back :)
