Pro or intermediate clarinet?

Let's begin with the current clarinet I have. it's a Yamaha student clarinet, old(very), and it's not holding together; my tendons wont stay together. I've had them replaced the cork 3 times in the last year. I'm only fourteen and thinking of buying an intermediate instrument(if I go pro, you guys will flood my inbox, so i will just say intermediate). The clarinet is probably at least 15 years old, i have a private teacher, and he and i have already discussed that i will go to college with a flute, clarinet, and an alto sax, to be able to qualify for a scholarship(God knows that i can't afford to get a masters). to add to that i know that i will play as a professional one day, so why not just get a pro now?

Question:
Do i spend the money to buy a pro buffet r13 or spend the money to get an intermediate or another student?
