McLean Bible, VA - student ministry openings

McLean Bible Church, one of the mega churches on the other side of the DC Beltway from me, has three student ministry positions open.  I like to read job descriptions and these seem to be well thought out.  Hopefully, looking at those job descriptions can help some of you readers.
However, check out the required/preferred experience and the salary for each of these jobs.  That is some serious job experience and those are some heavy job responsibilities.  Of course, to live in DC on that salary.... My personal opinion - you would have to be insane to take any of these jobs. Of course, many of us are crazy already...

Bachelor degree required
Minimum 3 years experience as a full time staff member responsible for a growing student ministry of at least 350 students
