If you create a blog or website with contents about the topics of your interest that catches the eyes of certain professor could that trump bad GPA and make possible getting into a good PhD program with low GPA? Even if you do have a bad GPA could they might see passion and ingenuity on your blog?

"People pretending to be your friend and drop you once they got what they are needed " What would be an example of what they want from you?

2. No I don't, but one of my family members told me about this after hearing it from the person first hand.

3. Ok thanks. What determines whether someone doesn't have to teach at all, every term, or in between? Teaching is something that I would rather not do. I also heard that PhD have to go to classes too? How much time does that take? I would really want an environment where i can just read and write all day, and would rather have nothing to do with classes.

3.1 Another thing is I read somewhere that in PhD you don't really have freedom to study whatever you want because if what you want to study is too much of a niche field and is something that not a lot of people take interest in, you would have hard time getting a job as a professor or getting a tenure and that you have to go with the flow of the field and so you have to write about the hot topics in your field?

4. So for PhD they don't look at the prestige of your school?

5. How much do consulting firms pay to recruit history PhDs? Do they also recruit other humanities PhDs?

6. What would it take to publish in top journals? Do you need to be already an excellent student? Or do they just see the quality of your writing itself and if it's good enough they might let you publish in their journals?

7. How could I get better access to archives and libraries while being a non-student?

What is the difference between this and interlibrary loan? Can people not affiliated with the university use it too?

What if you come from a first tier university but have low GPA?
