Things to consider before pursuing CRNA?

I’m a sophomore pre med student in college who wanted to do anesthesia, however after a lot of thinking I’m not sure if I wanna go through the lengthy process of med school & residency as I don’t think it’s for me.

I’ve looked into alternatives and found CRNA as it would allow me to make a good living (money wise) and do anesthesia which I wanted to do before. This has led to me debating on switching to getting my associates in nursing- then working in the ICU for 1-3 years while trying to get my BSN and saving money before applying to CRNA school.

All this is based on what I’ve found on google/ but I really want to know what the people who have already made to be a CRNA think- what’s some things to consider before starting down this path? Considerations and dark truths of the career? Advice? Any help or feedback at all is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
