Job Experience While Studying for CCNA

What kind of jobs should I try to apply for in order to get experience while I am studying for my CCNA?

I will have an Information Systems degree by the end of the year, which is basically Half Computer Science and have Finance, So I know C++, Java, Python and SQL, financial analytics, but have no real IT hardware knowledge in routers or switches and that is a career path that really intrigues me, thank you for any help.
