To do this, we start the code with a "G" to denote "GEEK", followed by one or two letters to denote the geek's occupation or field of study. Multi-talented geeks with more than one vocational training should denote their myriad of talents with a slash between each vocation (example: GCS/MU/TW). -| | | | -|:--- | :---: | :--- | -| GAI | = | Geek of Artificial Intelligence | -| GBIO | = | Geek of Biomedical Engineering | -| GB | = | Geek of Business | -| GC | = | Geek of Classics | -| GCA | = | Geek of Commercial Arts | -| GCM | = | Geek of Computer Management | -| GCS | = | Geek of Computer Science | -| GCC | = | Geek of Communications | -| GDS | = | Geek of Data Science | -| GDVO | = | Geek of DevOps | -| GE | = | Geek of Engineering | -| GED | = | Geek of Education | -| GFA | = | Geek of Fine Arts | -| GFS | = | Geek of Forensic Science | -| GG | = | Geek of Government | -| GH | = | Geek of Humanities | -| GIT | = | Geek of Information Technology | -| GJ | = | Geek of Jurisprudence (Law) | -| GLS | = | Geek of Library Science | -| GL | = | Geek of Literature | -| GMC | = | Geek of Mass Communications | -| GM | = | Geek of Math | -| GMD | = | Geek of Medicine | -| GMU | = | Geek of Music | -| GPA | = | Geek of Performing Arts | -| GP | = | Geek of Philosophy | -| GS | = | Geek of Science | -| GSS | = | Geek of Social Science | -| GTW | = | Geek of Technical Writing | -| GVDD | = | Geek of Video Game Design | -| GO | = | Geek of Other.
