Nobility is what you make it.

I know some guys who are about as far from noble as you can get, and the city worker who is dedicated is serving their community is more noble, IMHO.

When you see the work you do as making a difference, that is noble. Cops get to break up fights and catch bad guys.

Soldiers restore peace and order when there are no cops left. Who says that is more noble?

The guy who works for the city and ensures that the power grid is serviceable, that is noble.

The car salesman that truly cares about his customers is noble.

The problem comes when you lose sight of your importance in the world. Nobility is pride in your work. You make a difference, and you can hold your head up when people ask what you do for a living.
