Default Visa class for an adult child without special qualifications?

Hi you knowing people out there,

I applied for a 137 (STNI) visa. Four of my kids are under 18 and it is
no problem taking them with me. Two over 18 have no difficulties getting
their own 136 visa as they have professions Australia is looking for.
But one son, 21, has an education (fruit juice technician) which isn�t
worth anything in AUS. How can I get him with me? I thought about last
remaining relativeâÂ?Â

No, his school certification doesn't allow studying. Beside that he
doesn't want to go to school anymore. And it is quite expensive as far
as I know.

You asked for options, I gave you one...I meant a trade certificate like
Hairdressing or something....Anyway You need to discuss you options with
a MARA registered migration agent to fully understand all your options.

Thanks, Brisben for your advice. The problem is that my son wants to
work and that his profession doesn't count in AUS.

Perhaps has anyone else experience in a case like this?
