I think you are describing something similar to the US Military where there are to "paths" into it: officers and enlisted.

In the US, there is one for police: police academy and then work your way up the ranks to detective, etc.

That isn't even close to being true. SNCOs and WOs need to be pretty clever, and they start off as E-1s. It works for the military, but then they aren't taking the short sighted position of filtering out folks who are "too smart" to be an E-1.
