The top ten reasons to play the oboe:
10. People pay attention long enough to figure out what the heck that thing is that you're playing.
9. Learning to transpose music as you play (from reading flute parts)
8. the case is a good weapon in emergencies; bigger than a flute case, can still act as a shield, and yet is still portable!
7. If you lose your music, the bells always have the same part.
6. If you lose your music, the flutes always have the same part.
5. If you lose your music, somebody at some point in the piece has the same part!
4. You can always hide in the clarinet section.
3. No one cares if you're not heard.
2. You always get your own stand.
1. No competition!!! (at least, not in the same band)

how long have you been playing? 2 months?
none of that is true, aside from maybe the "weapon" thing, and that's just disrespectful to your instrument.
reading a part that is written in the same key as your instrument is not transposing. it is reading a part which is different than yours, yet written in the same key. transposing is when you change the key and the positioning of the notes so that you're playing the same ACTUAL pitches.
