sms22 , yes that is true. If you meet the the Eb1 , eb2 , eb3 yes you can apply for EB(employer based ) categories.
That said , I hear that by law you cannot change status from TPS to GC -- They will send you for consular processing to the EMBASSY. Which means your GC can be approved but from the embassy back home. However , if you have a F1 to go along the F1 your can change status from F1 to GC.
The reason I said by law is that recently a Judge ruled that you are able to change status from TPS ..so with that ruling you can use a lawyer and appeal to change the status. google it.
Consular processing is not a bad deal either UNLESS , you have overstayed your visa or remained illegal in the country for 180 days or more. Federal law bans anyone who have stayed illegal for that amount of time up to 3 years.
