If you assume we don’t blow up the planet and that climate change does not terminate the survival of the species, the number of people in Starfleet could be one to two million people— drawn from ten different species, with over a trillion individuals. That means starting early and continuing to pass is the way you get into the lowest level and worst job in Starfleet. Thirty billion applicants for a yearly intake of one hundred thousand slots in the several years long training program to get a probationary slot for an apprenticeship two year proof of ability in real situations.

If there actually were a real Starfleet Academy, that’s probably exactly the way it would operate.
