I work in a group with Physics, they love Fortran, so I have to program in Fortran from time to time.
Reading again my comment, a part of it is very badly written. I wanted to say that if someone is hiring you, they will not care too much about your specific specialization. I didn't want to say that the field has no application.
If you want to continue working in someone related to your field, you probably have to make a few blog post with some interesting application and explanations about how the algebra helps, so someone with a similar programs perhaps may be interested in hiring you instead of learning algebra.
Put a few graphics, so the advantages of the algebraic approach is easy to see. Don't make it too long or too short. Don't make it too technical or too diluted. Hopefully I could give more detailed advice. I can't guarantee that you will get a job, but hopefully we will enjoy a few nice blog post here :).
As an example, I like the post of https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=righto.com they are very technical, but not too much. They have always a few photos and diagrams. (But some fields are not easily photographable.)
