Yurika,
J1 is a student visa, however the moto of TPS is to provide safe stay in US as you don't have safe place if you go back Nepal. Hence, any visa category can apply TPS and you are in J1, you can.
The question comes, once you get TPS and start working with EAD, your J1 visa gets void, you will be no more holding J1-Student Visa. You will be in TPS visa, where you can apply job in any field, if you get hired, your employer wants to file H1/GC, there is no barrier.
If you have cleared your college, it's best to apply TPS, if not you have to sacrifice one thing.
I suggest carry on your college, you have education , you will get job in anywhere in the world.
rest is your decision.
thanks,
Chris
