I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do with the change()
function...
You know you can get the value of a select just with val(). You don't
have to loop through each option to find which is selected.
<select id="mySelect">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
var myVal = $("#mySelect").val(); // 1 or 2
