As some one with 10+ years in info security, how do I get to be this actual expert In the room? Does it pay well enough? If I have to sell my soul to survive anyway, making more for it sounds good.

In my experience the actual expert does not need to be in the room. The actual expert wrote the standards that the college kids are auditing against. And even then, he or she is an expert in writing standards, which is not necessarily quite the same kind of expert you're thinking of.
