On the other side of the wall, in front of where my vehicle is parked, is my bedroom.
Would like to install something similar to what you would see at store fronts that have parking spaces near the entrance.
Usually looks like 4' high, round pole, that goes into the concrete, something like this.
Is this something that can be done by someone who has never done this but is handy?
…or what profession would do this work?

You can rent a core drill for under 200 dollars including the dimond bit. You would need to make a substantially larger diameter hole than the pipe because you need concrete around it, not just in it.
This is a picture of a very serious bollard

If you are really worried about a teen driver or similar crashing into your bed, go with the example in the picture. A reasonable compromise with a fair amount of stopping power would be 2" pipe in a 6" hole at least a couple of feet deep. Most of the bolt down ones are just for show unless, you get some really serious anchors bolting down through a very thick peice of metal and deep into the concrete spread out on a large bolt pattern.
