>> "Is it less spiritual to look for a salaried missionary job rather than a support-raising position?"

Raising support does not make you holier than other Christians. Walking on water or raising the dead, yeah, definitely, but not raising support. Many outstanding denominations and missions groups offer salaries to their missionaries, and the Lord is honoring their ministries. All Christians need to live by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:6) regardless of how they receive their paychecks. The bottom line though, is that you need to be willing (without shrinking back) to do whatever the Lord asks you to do, and to work wherever he is leading or you cease to be qualified for any missionary career (salaried or supported).
