Quite a bit of repsonses to sift through...
I would say, IF you have a natural thing going for the oboe, and IF you are willing to work both hard and diligently when it comes to practicing, and IF you have a sort of 'specialist' mentality (as opposed to 'generalist') and especially IF you have nothing major to lose by doing it...
THEN you can take this opportunity/risk.
The competent oboe player used to be a rarity; you could be good (not a virtuoso) and be in need. Not anymore. I just moved to a smallish town and there are other players here so I'm having to bide my time and work harder to just get my foot in the proverbial door.
It sounds idealistic to want to 'major' in oboe when you've played only clarinet so far. I guess you'll have to just try the instrument out and see if it is suited to you, or you to it. Then you'll have a better idea of knowing if this is something you can take up at this stage.
I wish you success, whatever you decide to do.
