I want to be a Bureaucrat

In my research of looking for jobs that are through the federal government i chose a post office mail carrier. This is not my dream job or anything but i know a little bit about this job. Post office mail carriers deliver mail on a certain type of route either city or rural. Mail carriers collect and deliver mail, they usually start very early in the morning first they arrange their mail then deliver and pick the mail. They deliver mail by either foot or vehicle but sometimes both.The requirements for this job does not require any specific education requirements but they want you to have either a high school diploma or a GED. A require meant for this job is you must be able to speak good English.Also you must be at least 18 and be a citizen of the US.
The hiring process - all applicants must pass a written examination and pass both a drug test and a physical exam. You need to be able to lift a 70 pound mail sack and have a valid drivers license with a good driving record. The reason why I took an interest in this job is because my mother once delivered mail and I thought I was a fun job to have. The second job that i had picked was a PA state police officer. The job duties of this job was to provide patrol, criminal investigation and staff support services. Also to provide regulations of traffic, crime scene response and investigations, also to maintain public order and security. The starting salary for this is 50,740. The requirements for this job are; you must pass the PSP academy basic training. You must also reach the age requirement that is you must be at least 21 and under the age of 40 to apply. You must have a valid PA drivers license and a high school diploma or a GED. Also you need 60 semester college credits. In the hiring process you pretty much have to pass the test before you can even apply. The reason I have wanted to become a police officer is because it a good job with great benefits. I think that both of these jobs are reasonable jobs that people can have.
