How can I change multiple field values with only one select?

Form
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Country
  • I'm a (which is a field called "Lead type")
    • Student | Student
    • Teacher | Lead
    • Other | Lead

How can I change the "Industry" when the visitor chooses "Teacher"? This should write "Education" in there?

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){
  form.onSubmit(function(form){
    var el = document.getElementById("teklaLeadType");
    var sel = el.options[el.selectedIndex].innerHTML; 
    switch (sel) {
      case 'Teacher':
        form.addHiddenFields({Industry:'Education'});
        break;
      case 'Some other type':
        form.addHiddenFields({Industry:'Some other industry'});
        break;
      default:
    }
  });
})

MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){
  form.onSubmit(function(form){
    switch (form.getValues()['Lead_Type']) {
      case 'Teacher':
        form.addHiddenFields({Industry:'Education'});
        break;
      case 'Some other type':
        form.addHiddenFields({Industry:'Some other industry});
        break;
      default:
    }
  });
});

Obviously you need to use the exact names of your fields, which you can see by inspecting the form's HTML or looking in Field Management.

I cried victory too quick.

It seems that the form.getValues()['Lead_Type'] takes the values and not the labels. If the label is teacher, the getvalues take "Lead" as value.
