Yeah it’s a big military/fbi town. The joke was the FBI removed the exemption of people who’ve had sex with animals. I never thought I would see that reading the news.
I’m actually an asexual furry. So no, you don’t have to engage in any sex at all. I like the aesthetic and I’ve met a bunch of my friends through the fandom as a shared point of commonality.
Probably the biggest question you’ll get asked as a new furry is “what is your fursona?” If you say you don’t have one, everyone will make a pitch to try to sell you on theirs. (psst Maned wolves are cool.)
For a more in depth explanation, take a look at furscience. They’re an actual research institution studying the fandom.
I found joining a job search counsel via the book never search alone to be helpful. You didn’t have to read the book first because reading the book is part of the JSC.
I would also recommend the book Take the Work Out of Networking.
I’ve talked to several recruiters, and outside of entry level positions none of them are interviewing anyone who doesn’t have a referral because there are so many referrals they find enough qualified candidates before they get to the non-referrals. That’s a product of just how bad the job market is.
I’m about to post two jobs myself with a total comp of ~$180k and I already have enough referrals that I won’t interview anyone that isn’t a referral. And the posting isn’t even up yet.
The JSC via Never Search Alone paired with Take the Work Out of Networking has all the skills and advice needed to navigate the current job market as successfully as possible.
I wish you all the best, and am happy to answer as many questions as I can if you’d like.
The internet really messed with things. We put a help-wanted ad in the local paper in 2000, specifically said in the ad “local candidates only” - I received 400+ applications in the first week, ~300 of them from out of town, 20+ of them from other countries. Sorting through the pile (they were still snail-mailed in those days) I came across a local candidate who worked with a company we regularly did business with, had our guy call his ex-manager and asked one question “would you re-hire him if you had the chance?” Answer was yes. We hired him, he was good.
My sincere apologies if your application was in the bottom of the stack and you were better qualified. Life is like that most of the time.
Woah, this maybe a good way of contributing what seems to be a skill I have. Not trying to brag but as a 33 year old skidmark on the national economy, I am currently batting 1000 on job interviews over my life. I have multiple times just quit a job on the spot and had a new one before weeks end. I’m not sure why, or how, but I have never been interviewed and not offered the job. Mind, none of them have required “skills” or “education” beyond what I’ve picked up along the way, they could be called entry level jobs but I’ve never really seen a path upward in any of the companies, doesn’t seem to work like that anymore. Just jobs, ~$40k a year usually with benefits. I have always had a hard time understanding why people who “can’t find work” don’t just take a job that’s available while they look for the perfect one. Spoiler, I have never found a perfect job, aside from working for myself.
Gonna be trying furry convention next month
Becoming a furry just to get in a line of work is like changing religion for the community support
Child care is expensive - church offers that.
Congrats on your new job in Quantico?
Whos Quantico?
Ah this place where careers go to die. But they love animals there.
Yeah, I’m sorry I don’t really know the reference. It seems to be a TV series or a town in the US

Let me know how that goes.
Is there an Intro to Furry Guide and a FAQ?
Are there classes I can take to get Furry Certified?
Do I need to engage in sexual activity which doesn’t align with my current non-furry orientation?
It’s a one question quiz, actually:
Do you want to be a furry? Yes or no?
If yes, congrats! You’re now a furry.

maned wolves are cool as hell!!!
Furries are typically nonsexual. It’s more often than not just roleplay for autistics.
Source, autistic furry who doesn’t want to fuck in the extremely expensive fursuit
There’s 2 types of furries:
I paid a ton of money for this fursuit, I don’t want to ruin it by having sex in it!
I paid a ton of money for this fursuit, of course I’m going to use it for sex!
Same…maybe then i find a job again lol
