There are different kinds of carpenters.

There are construction carpenters (framers) that work outside in the sun, rain, cold hammering dimensional lumber together to construct the skeleton of a building. It's physically demanding and chance of injury is significant.

There are finish carpenters who do the detail trim work like window and door frames, baseboard, wainscotting, etc. You work indoors but still on-site.

There are cabinet makers and furniture builders. You probably work in a fixed location/shop.

Probably a bunch of others that I haven't thought of.
