Generic ToSelectListItem method

I have about 10 very simple tables in database:

create table EmploymentStatus
(
    Id int identity(1,1) Primary Key,
    Name nvarchar(100) NOT NULL
)

These tables are used for DropDownLists on registration view, like this:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.EmploymentStatus, Model.EmploymentStatusList, Resource.EmploymentStatus, new { @class = "form form-control" })

DropDownListFor requires a IEnumerable<SelectListItem> selectList as a collection. So, I created a method:

public static List<SelectListItem> ToSelectItemList(IQueryable<EmploymentStatu> statuses)
{
    return statuses.Select(m => new SelectListItem
    {
        Text = m.Name,
        Value = m.Id.ToString()
    }).ToList();
}

The problem is that I have to create a method for each of ten entities. Is there a good way of writing some generic method, like this:

public static List<SelectListItem> ToSelectItemList(IQueryable<T> collection)
{
    return collection.Select(m => new SelectListItem
    {
        Text = m.Name,
        Value = m.Id.ToString()
    }).ToList();
}
