According to this link, 

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

This should do.

You could try this:

var selectedOptionText = $("YearIn option:selected").text();

For instance check the following snippet:

$(function(){
  $("#YearIn").change(function(){
    alert($("#YearIn option:selected").text());
  });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id="YearIn">
  <option val="1">One</option>
  <option val="2">Two</option>
  <option val="3">Three</option>
  <option val="4" selected>Four</option>
  <option val="5">Five</option>
</select>
