Hi and welcome to EB:
Sorry to tell you there is no way to change this that I am aware of. Keep in mind that BB devices began as and continue to be business devices. The reason this happens is that the work number is the first in the list of numbers for contacts. It is not so much a product of default as it is the way the list was designed. I guess that really does make it default since you can't change the order of their listings.
I assume you are trying to add a number from the call log, correct? I don't know if this will save any effort for you, but if you try this maybe it will help. Please note that I use an 8830 with a full keyboard so what I list from here on relates to keyboard strokes. I am guessing/hoping there is a similar way to do this with the Pearl, but I am not sure....
From the Call Log with the new number highlighted > Menu Button > Add To Address Book > The new contact screen will appear with that darned number in the work number slot. Scroll down to the new work number.
Holding down the Caps key, use the trackball to scroll across the phone number > Menu Button > Cut > Scroll down to Mibile Number > Menu Button > Paste
At least you won't have to retype the number....

any help would be greatly appreciated
