[fface]

Hi susan,

The example of 'on the other hand' is from my dictionary:

I know this job of mine isn't well paid; on the other hand/however/,but I don't have to work long hours.

Is there any subtle difference in meaning or in tone(strong or weak, etc.) between but, on the other hand and however if but and however are also fine here?

Does "on the other hand" always describe an opposite situation like the sentence above?

Thank you very much.
