Is there any way to get out of this shoplifting charge completely, if not, what do I do?

It is unlikely you can get out of the shopl ifting charge totally.? It depends on your county and your attorney and the DA.

Depending on the amount allegedly stolen and the jurisdiction where the event occurred, shoplifting can be met with a mere citation (infraction), or charged as a misdemeanor or even a felony, with possible jail sentences of 6 months to 3 years. It will be up to the D.A. to determine how the crime will be charged. I suggest that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you and get you the best deal possible.

This is a tough one, and one where the "punishment" exceeds the crime. You will at least have a "record" of a detention now. If the case is filed when you go to court, you will be ordered at some point to be booked (if you were simply given a citation at the store), which then becomes an arrest. In most jurisdictions, there is a program called diversion that allows for the charges to be dismissed after you successfully complete it. But the BRN will undoubtedly ask you if you have ever been arrested/convicted of any crime. This is where the difficulty will come for you - how to answer the questions and how to deal with the Board when you apply for your license. You would be well advised to consult with, and possible hire a criminal defense attorney to assist you, and possibly an attorney knowledgeable in this administrative application process.
