If there wasn't electricity...
This is a two part question...
1) If your electricity goes out... what would you be doing right now? 2) If electricity never existed, what would you do as a profession / hobby? For me... 1) I'd go home and enjoy my day off, doing something outside. 2) Geologist or Exploration

2) farming ... my grandfather was a farmer ... so it would probably be the family business ...

1) As it's already getting near to my sleeping time, I'd sleep.
2) I'd have been a farmer.
