Should I try to change careers and become a teacher?

I work in TV production for 4 years now. I started in college and have worked my way up to a very important position at my station. I have achieved my dream position in a short amount of time. I am almost 24 and have done exceptional for my age. However, my hours are awful (usually nights weekends and holidays). I won't be ever getting off those shifts for possibly 10-15 years, and thats if my job isn't automated out of existance before then. The upside to it is I make close to six figures at age 23. But, money doesnt bring happinees due to the high stress, god awful commute, and mainly the horrid hours. Ive always wanted to be a college prof or HS teacher. I know of the pay cut and wondering what people thought to me switching?
