I’m still starting though
The US Government has collected a great deal of information on almost every occupation. The link below contains the data you are asking for including this about pay:
Median annual earnings of salaried photographers were $26,170 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $18,680 and $38,730. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $15,540, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $56,640. Median annual earnings in the industry employing the largest numbers of salaried photographers were $22,860 in the photographic services industry.
Then there is this (and a lot more!) about the type of jobs in photography:
Some photographers specialize in areas such as portrait, commercial and industrial, scientific, news, or fine arts photography.
There is more. Things like the work environment, hours, required training, and related fields are there. Take a look. I think it will cover what you are looking for, and best wishes in your endeavor.
