I think what Simsya is saying is what genres are out there as a beginner. How do people know what they enjoy if they don't know it exists?
I would suggest try some of the challenges. Like the 100 steps challenge, the 365 or a photo a week for a year.
I did a 365 with a different focus for every week, so I had a go at lots of different things, from Architecture, to landscape, to strobist and
light painting. Not only did it improve my skills it also helped me to choose the things that I like doing.
Have a look at all the genres on here, like portraits, birds, landscape etc and spend some time on each and see what you enjoy.
