Yes, and if you're dumb enough to use the same password for everything, they can do quite a bit more... Maybe not to a high school kid, but think mid-life engineer and what "ruined" might entail.
Also, with no extra effort - actually less effort than your layer system - you can use strong and unique passwords everywhere. Why not then?
