It would be better to talk about labor, as work has a meaning related to physics.
Look at this:
"Labor (Human Resources). Labor is the general category of the human effort that is used for the production of goods and services. This includes physical labor, such as harvesting trees for lumber, drilling for oil or mining for gold, growing wheat for bread, or raising the sheep that produce wool for a sweater. In addition to physical labor, there is mental labor, which is necessary for such activities as planning the best ways to harvest trees and making decisions about which trees to harvest. Labor is also involved when a doctor or surgeon analyzes and diagnoses (mental labor) before performing a medical procedure, then performs the procedure (physical labor)".

According to the Collins English Dictionary, work is the physical or mental effort directed to making or doing something. Therefore, for me, work is doing something physical or mental and getting paid for it. For example, if I am building a house, I am doing something physical and if I am doing the work of a Lawyer - thinking for him, I am doing something mental.
Whether i am being paid money or some other reward, I am working. For example, if I am building a house for myself, i will not b paying myself but having a house is life-long reward - a dream.
