It is entirely up to you. How much TIME are you willing to put in to oboe? That will be the limiting factor. However there is always a ceiling set by how much musical talent you were born with.

I know some oboists who have practiced 6-8 hour a day every day. Actual playing time may have been 4-6 hours. And for at least 4 years. They reached the highest technical level one could imagine, i.e. master most of oboe repertories including all published oboe works of Pasculli, Holliger, Piazzolla, and the like. Just to maintain the level, they have to practice at least 2 hours every day.

I am certain that you can get there. But are you willing?
