I have done Mathematics degree in 2006,and have worked in several companies for the last eight years as a Software Engineer.I extended my programming skills with GIS that I can make map analysis,data compilation tasks.I have worked on GIS based development on C#,ASP.NET for telecommunications since two years.
My manager asked me to switch my career path into telco using my development experiences.So far I have no technical knowledge with telco systems,and there is no one I know for going on this path like my case.
I have two questions for now :
- Would choosing telco industry ruin everything I have learned ?
- What is the lifespan of a software programmer/engineer in telco environment ?

This question is open for very broad answers, however,
Would choosing telco industry ruin everything I have learned ?
Of-course not, it doesn't get erased from your memory. The knowledge you've learned can be transferred to other fields, the ability to program is a skill which requires practice and you've practiced it, the syntax and or theories behind the programming may change but that's quick to adapt.
What is the lifespan of a software programmer/engineer in telco environment ?
Just like the lifespan of any other software/engineer, you could be doing it until the day you die or until you retire, the only boundaries are for how long you're willing to focus on it.
Note that if you change paths then it will result in less experience in your previous field, but being an expert in only one thing can be a negative thing too.
Don't over-think this, just do what feels right for you and what makes you excited.

Thank you for your suggestions.I didn't want to put all the ideas in my mind here which leads to everywhere,so it would make the question unnecessary.I just can't decide what to do,there are a lot of options.
