Donald, user roles was made to determine user's permissions and access level. So, only admin and moderators can change user's roles. And by default settings it is impossible to choose user roles on Sign-up page. It will require a complicated  complex custom code modifications to implement this feature.
If you are not familiar with the code modification or plugin development, it would be better for you to find a developer who can help you. You can do it here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists

Donald, if I'm understanding your correctly this may help:
1- Set up your roles and permissions
2- Go to 'Profile Questions' and create a new account type
3- Set one of your roles as the default role for that account type.

See the attached screenshots.
