Paid in Prestige or Sign of a Terrible Job Market?

Some jobs pay in salary and others pay in prestige. Prestige has long been a consideration in wage-setting (See Mayer, Prestige and Wages, 1959). Some people take lower wages in exchange for prestige or access, take Hill staff for example. Yet this ad posted to DC's Craigslist today is one of the more inventive attempts to trade on a title I've seen in awhile.
