Go in and tell them you want to be a push, see what they say.

Seriously, if you're on circus rigs, and you don't have experience, you're gonna be a roughneck. Good luck with that.

Anybody know who I could contact or a place I could go to find out more, or maybe a website, I'm looking at going to the fields, the danger doesn't bother me, I just wanna make some good coin.

lol, whatever hours you're told to where ever they send you.

And yes, you don't get to choose your position. You start at the shittiest position, and move to less shitty positions as the years go on.
