Dont use var foobar inside closure. Use like this 

var foobar; 
$("#something").change(function(){
    foobar = $('#something').find(":selected").val();
 });

 alert(foobar);

define foobar outside the function.

    var foobar; 
$("#something").change(function(){
    foobar = $(this).find(":selected").val();
 });

 alert(foobar);

You already declared a variable outside it was fine . if you again declare it inside the function mean. so it can be accessed inside the function only .

var foobar; 
$("#something").change(function(){
    foobar = $('#something').find(":selected").val();
 });

 console.log(foobar);
