putting that degree to good use, eh?

Ignore the wolf(?) chasing the chipmunk. Look at Mark's blithe statement that a guy with "a film degree" (MFA, probably) is the right guy to "test new video equipment".

Of course, given that Johnny is currently monitoring a ferret reintroduction program in the Midwest, maybe his degree isn't an MFA, and testing video equipment for a wildlife magazine will be a tempting proposition.
