you can get the value of selected text by using this single line of code

$("#select option:selected").text();

Just like any other value

var value = $(”#select”).val();
$(”#select option[value=’” + value + ”’]”).text()

<select id=”select”>
<option value=”selected”>Value</option>
</select>

Make sure options have value attr
