Do the sentences "You can be a singer or a dancer" and "You can either be a singer or a dancer" have the same meaning?
If so, the use of the word "either" seems somewhat redundant in this type of sentences.
Can somebody explain this?

I think there's a nuance of difference.
"You can be a singer or a dancer."
doesn't seem to specifically exclude the possibility of being both.
"You can either be a singer or a dancer."
does, in my opinion, exclude that possibility.
