According to this interview: http://www.gameswelt.tv/19748/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/video-interview-mit-todd-howard.html, the same jobs that you see NPC's doing, you will also be able to do. You just go up and click on them and your guy does them. The jobs given in this interview are weapon-making, armor-making, cooking, leather-working, wood-chopping. They also have crafting for magic (Enchanting), weapons (Smithing), and Stealh (Alchemy). Each of these crafting abilities will have their own skills.
