Sometimes we'll have guest teachers who'll come in and give lectures. Usually these are retired industry professionals, like Disney animators, with a successful career behind them.
Is it worth sharing your work with them in hopes of making some kind of connection in the industry? Or are they sick of shitty art students sharing their work with them? Would they still have some kind of foot in the industry despite being retired?

Most of the time they won't have much connections left with the industry but it's still a good thing to put on your resume that u were best buddies with the guy that animated X famous thing..
As for whether they're bored of students showing their works or not that entirely depends on the person.

If they are coming to your fucking ART SCHOOL then why the hell is this even a question. imo ask if they could take a look at your work and give you feedback. That way you don't come off as a value leech.

If they're successful like you say, do you not think they had to hustle to get where they were? I'm sure they would respect you enough to help if you tell them straight up that you're trying to make you're way into the industry.
Opportunity finds those who make the effort.

ask them nicely if they will critique your portfolio, if they have the time. ask them about themselves, people love talking about themselves. you will probably get some good advice, but an industry connection is unlikely as you're just another hungry face in the crowd to them
