You can definitely apply for a job as a lab assistant. One way to do this is to go to your schools website and see if they have a list of faculty with openings in their labs. You may need to look for specific research programs at your school to find this. Look through the list and if you see a professor doing research on something that interests you. send them an email to tell them you're interested in what they're doing and want to work in their lab. They may not respond to you at all, but keep trying (you can even just copy paste the same email to different professors) and you'll get an opportunity eventually.

You might consider checking with a local water department. They do microbial sampling in the treatment plant and sometimes at the request of consumers at their residences.
You may also check with your local department of natural resources to see if they have might have any opportunities involving testing of streams, lakes, rivers, etc
Environmental sampling and/or air quality sampling may be a stepping stone to acquire useful skills while pursing your degree.
Hope this helps.
