What does most (>75%) of the population (of your country) do that you do not?
Note that I'm not asking what makes you unique. For example, I'm an INTJ, which is one of those 1% personality types. However, it's not like 99% of people are one personality type and then us INTJs are the other one. There are 16 Myers-Briggs types, so this doesn't count, although it certainly contributes to my uniqueness.
I'm looking for (at least almost) binary things. The first thing I thought of is that don't drink, but it turns out 40% of Americans don't drink. So that doesn't count.
Here's some things that seem to count (with my % estimates):
- I have a graduate degree (10% of US pop>25). (A bachelor's degree doesn't cut it any more as 27% of the US population over 25 has one.)
- I went to a top-10 school (3% of school goers).
- I am a business owner (15% of US pop>25).
- I did not get a job after school. (I started a business instead.) I can't find a stat here, but I'm sure it is very low.
- I'm a stay-at-home Dad (1% of dads).
- I blog (12% of Internet users).
