I did it in the Chicago area in addition to working as a CFI many moons ago. It was a lot of fun. Gave me a chance to sit in the left seat and actually do some flying instead of always watching my students fly. It can be mind numbing at times. I would recommend working as a CFI in addition to Traffic flying. The combination of the 2 will keep your skills and knowlege level high, while building time quickly.
I flew traffic watch for just over 2 years in the detroit area. It was fun, i always flew with a reporter and was even on the radio once or twice. I was flying almost 30 hr week, when the the wx cooperated. there were three two hour flights a day and one two hr flight on saturday with an occasional U of M football game thrown in. Great time builder. Listen to the traffic report on the radio and call the traffic tip line and go from there.
