Since ought implies can, we can only be obligated to to choose a noble profession, by whatever definition of noble you like, if we are all able to choose a noble profession. Unless your definition of "noble" is so broad that it doesn't really mean anything (the "nobility of labor", say), I don't think that's true. I do think there's an obligation not to do harm/facilitate to doing of harm, and that's a hard enough standard to meet.
