Islam gave us purpose of life. As mentioned in Quran
“Whoever works righteousness whether male or female while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment, and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)”

Having purpose in professional life is good, However we should do good deeds, helping others and meaningful activities to make life purposeful and satisfied.
