Praise.
I have a strong work ethic but I've never found any of my jobs rewarding. I don't achieve any accolades for working hard. On the other hand, the sound of applause from an audience when I'm performing (as a singer/songwriter/guitarist) in my spare time is the most beautiful sound! Receiving praise for my artistic or musical talent (even if it isn't lucrative!) is far more rewarding than thankless hard work (even if it pays well).

Knowing I did well at a job or a task rewards my pride enough, whether or not I receive accolades from my peers. More often than not, your peers can be jealous of your accomplishments, not willing to praise you for them.
A strong work ethic has its own rewards - monetarily, of course, pride in yourself for a job well done, the respect of your family and very often, the notice of your superiors. That's when it really pays off.

Praise from peers. That makes me feel excepted and wanted on the job. To know that I am considered useful, and a part of things.
The only "work ethic" I have is to feel my work is being used to help somebody, to make they're life alittle easier, and I am doing the best job that I am reasonably able to do.
If my the feelings of my peers got in the way of that, however. Like, they want me to dumb down what I am doing cause' they have a bad attitude?
I wouldn't do that just to get they're praise, even if they tried to harass or get me fired.
I would, in that case, expect them to live up to what they are supposed to be doing.
Come up to me, but don't try to pull me down. I can't even do a job without integrity. It is that much harder!
But those people I would not consider myself a peer of.

Having a strong work ethic allows the time and resources required to enjoy rewarding experiences with family and friends.

Praise from peers; it validates my work ethic, and in the long run will result in more work offers and better pay.

Money. Plain and simple.
As for my personal studies, the work ethic is more rewarding - there is only one peer who sees what I do ona regular basis.

The praise from your peers is fleeting. Your own satisfaction stays with you forever.

It depends on what's important to you; personally, I'll take the actual gain and success over someone else's opinion.
