Very broadly speaking, biologists work in the fields of
1. research,
2. health care,
3. environmental management and conservation, and
4. education.
The American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) has a great brochure "Careers in Biology", plus lots of info at their website.
I work in environmental management, doing environmental impact assessment and compliance work. Non-biologists (geologists, planners, lawyers, environmental studies majors, etc.) also work in this field, but I'm glad I have a biology background.

1. Field biologists work... in the field!
2. Other biologists work in labs and offices.

I am a wetland biologist and I work for a consulting firm.
There are so many positions available. The trick is finding a position you like. I have a few friends that work for the Army Corps of Engineers, colleges, etc.
Good luck.

I work in rockville, md.
In more general terms, biologists work at universities, schools, they work for research institutions (both for- and non-profit), they work in "industry" and they can work for the government. I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out, but you get the idea.

I work in a lab in the hospital! Analyzing patients' samples for diagnosis and treatment. I also help the bone marrow transplant program with patients' stem cells!

Two broad categories would be research and education. Research can include field work or laboratory work or clinical work.
