Prior to serving as first lady, Easley was one of the first women to serve as an assistant district attorney in eastern North Carolina. She served on the faculty at both North Carolina Central University and North Carolina State University, teaching law, police management, and running a public safety center. In 2009 she and her husband became the subjects of a financial scandal regarding the misuse of campaign funds. She was later fired from North Carolina State University after it was revealed that she had obtained her job, with an annual salary of $175,000, with the help of her husband's influence as governor.
