Work is noble. Good, honest work. As long as a job requires that, it is no more or less noble than any other.

I disagree to an extent. I don't think it is necessarily the nature of the profession alone that makes it noble, but the nature of the profession combined with the sacrifice of a person entering the profession because of its nature.
That being said, some professions are noble on their own. UN relief worker, police, military, peace corp, etc.
