I think too much emphasis can be placed on titles.  My boss refers to me as his secretary, too; I am not only his PA, but Office Manager, IT Manager, Customer Services Manager and numerous other roles.  I know what I do, and I know he couldn't run the office without me!

As long as your boss understands the value of the work you do and gives you the remuneration you deserve, what does it matter what he calls you?  Old fashioned (male) Bossies do not understand the difference between a secretary and a PA and are are usually too set in their ways to change.  I've worked for plenty of them in my time.  Try not to let it get to you; be content in the personal knowledge that your role is a valuable one.
