*Travel photographer. You might do this for a company, freelance (or for yourself, perhaps creating a book to sell from your photography) or even for a travel agency.

*Wedding photographer. Obviously, you'd be photographing weddings -- this involves a lot of night and weekend work.

*Studio photographer. You might own your own studio or work in someone else's, but either way, you'd work mainly in portraits and group photos.

*Freelance photographer. You could end up doing just about everything -- from work for companies to birthday parties to fashion photography, based on whatever you can get a temporary job doing.

*Photography in journalism -- photographing for newspapers, magazines, etc.

*Photography for a certain company. This one varies based on the company itself, however, occasionally a company will require a full-time photographer.

*Fashion photography. This one isn't hard to figure out -- shots of models for clothing, makeup, hair.. pretty much everything. This is one form that can happen pretty much anywhere -- in and out of the studio.

Getting a job as a photographer is hard. I am in the process of getting my certificate in photography, and learned from my professors that there is no money in scenery or animal photographers. As much as I love photographing animals and scenery myself. There are a lot of jobs you can get as a photographer. Cinematographer, Weddings, Portraits, Newspaper Photographer, Special Event Photographer, Sports Photographer. It's extremely hard to make a name for yourself in the business and get your foot in the door. But don't let that discourage you - it hasn't discouraged me. I would love to travel the world and take photos as well. I would love to see some of your work, do you have a website? flickr?
