Yes, and more than one major clarinetist who has said publicly that he wishes he could play double lip but can't for one of a number of reasons.

If you want to motivate them to practice, you might have more success if you were open about what you're doing (if you do it). They won't be motivated if they don't know they're competing with you (if you actually were able to keep it secret, which you probably can't).
But with a resource like a private teacher who is an experienced oboist, it seems like a great idea in itself for you to try oboe. And if you were to decide that you really like oboe, your playing prospects are far greater as an oboist. Clarinetists are a dime (or maybe even a nickel) a dozen. Good oboists are always in high demand.
But watch out - Legere oboe reeds are a little more expensive than clarinet reeds.
