go back and read my first post
day one...here's a broom, get to sweeping
you'll move up from there
trust me
you'll stand out in the crowd of your peers
I have no qualms about doing this either. I would work wherever they needed me.

then go do it
I'm not at all clear what your questions are
in any event, good luck to you
the industry needs smart people but more than that it needs motivated people

You don't have to go be a day laborer to get in the industry. Don't work for a sub. That will limit your experience to one trade.
Almost every GC in DFW is hiring right now. We just hired 3 kids out of college as field engineers that had business or finance degrees. Give them a tape measure and start making punch list and addressing quality control. They will manage onsite materials, jobsite conditions, enforce the safety program, generate RFIs, daily reports...etc.
They will be assistant superintendents in a year or so. With this approach you get exposure to all trades. That is invaluable experience if your end game is PM. You need to know the details when writing scopes or negotiating change orders and contracts.
You can go swing a hammer or pick up trash for somebody if you want. But I would relocate for better opportunity.
