Hello! Carpentry is a truly versatile profession, with no shortage of opportunities. Similarly, trades such as welding, fabrication, or sheet metal work also offer a broad spectrum of possibilities. The decorative and ornamental aspects can be challenging and allows for some creativity. Just like carpentry, these trades offer a multitude of options, ranging from structural to decorative, finishing work, and even more unique fields like aerospace or high-pressure systems such as boilers or power plants. I hope this helps
Check out the carpenters, sheet metal, united association, boiler makers, or iron workers unions to see what kinds of are accomplished by these trades.

Hi, Good Day to you, hope this finds you well. Not sure how to answer this question but here are a few web sites to explore… Good luck with your career. John
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics holds your answers and is a good place to research about the various jobs/positions in the construction carpentry field including position descriptions, pay scale, etc. across the USA.
What type of work environment solely depends on were the job is located at. I have supervised Carpenters doing a lot of different work in a variety of neat and hazardous locations on military bases across the USA.
Good luck with your career choice and enjoy the research. John
